Portfolio overview

Globalfoundries Singapore Pte. Ltd. has been granted 769 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Globalfoundries Singapore Pte. Ltd. at rank #583 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 65 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Globalfoundries Singapore Pte. Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Globalfoundries sits between SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (772 patents, rank #579) and Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (766 patents, rank #587) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.6/100 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 306 grants, compared with 463 in the 2015–2019 window, a -34% 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. Globalfoundries Singapore Pte. Ltd.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 65 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Globalfoundries Singapore Pte. Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
