USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 7 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01R (ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS).
The verdict
CIS holds 7 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #34,687 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
CIS Global Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing CIS Global Llc at rank #34,687 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01R (ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS). As a US Corporation, CIS Global Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, CIS sits between CHT Germany Gmbh (7 patents, rank #34,683) and CIXI Bosheng Plastic Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #34,691) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.4/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 6 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +500% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. CIS Global Llc's 20.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CIS Global Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
CIS's 7 grants land it in the top 19% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
