Portfolio overview

Compal Electronics, Inc. has been granted 580 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Compal Electronics, Inc. at rank #793 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 104 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Compal Electronics, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Compal sits between Analog Devices International Unlimited Company (582 patents, rank #789) and Starkey Laboratories, Inc. (577 patents, rank #797) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.8/100 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 365 grants, compared with 215 in the 2015–2019 window, a +70% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. Compal Electronics, Inc.'s 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Compal Electronics, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Compal's 580 grants land it in the top 5% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Compal ranks #793 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06F - see who else leads that technology area. G06F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
