The verdict
Hefei holds 1,455 US patents across 143 technology areas, rank #293 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 1,455 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. at rank #293 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 143 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G09G (ARRANGEMENTS OR CIRCUITS FOR CONTROL OF INDICATING DEVICES USING STATIC MEANS TO PRESENT VARIABLE INFORMATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hefei sits between Jpmorgan Chase BANK, N.a. (1,478 patents, rank #289) and Freeescale Semiconductor, Inc. (1,437 patents, rank #297) - 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 957 grants, compared with 498 in the 2015–2019 window, a +92% 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. Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.'s 15.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hefei's 1,455 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
