Overall rank by patents
#9,514
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 33 granted patents across 4 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2018–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Hefei ranks #9,514 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 33 patents across 4 technology areas.
Hefei Core Storage Electronic Limited has been granted 33 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Hefei Core Storage Electronic Limited at #9,514 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Hefei Core Storage Electronic Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hefei sits between Homag Gmbh (33 patents, rank #9,515) and IHI Charging Systems International Gmbh (33 patents, rank #9,523) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 27 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +800% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Hefei Core Storage Electronic Limited's 18.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hefei's 33 grants land it in the top 13% 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.
