Portfolio overview

Dialog Semiconductor (uk) Limited has been granted 429 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Dialog Semiconductor (uk) Limited at rank #1,021 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 44 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02M (APPARATUS FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN AC AND AC, BETWEEN AC AND DC, OR BETWEEN DC AND DC, AND FOR USE WITH MAINS OR SIMILAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS; CONVERSION OF DC OR AC INPUT POWER INTO SURGE OUTPUT POWER;). As a Foreign Corporation, Dialog Semiconductor (uk) Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dialog sits between Beijing Zitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. (431 patents, rank #1,017) and PGS Geophysical AS (427 patents, rank #1,025) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.7/100 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 177 grants, compared with 252 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Dialog Semiconductor (uk) Limited's 20.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 44 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dialog Semiconductor (uk) Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Dialog's 429 grants land it in the top 4% 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 - Dialog ranks #1,021 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H02M - see who else leads that technology area. H02M 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.
