What this shows Hisense Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #5,288 of 50,000; Innovation Score 40.6/100 sits in the top 35% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Gachon University Of Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation (±0 grants).
Hisense Co., Ltd. has been granted 65 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Hisense Co., Ltd. at #5,288 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03B (APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OR FOR PROJECTING OR VIEWING THEM; APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS EMPLOYING ANALOGOUS TECHNIQUES USING WAVES OTHER THAN OPTICAL WAVES; ACCESSORIES THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Hisense Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hisense sits between Galvani Bioelectronics Limited (65 patents, rank #5,282) and Innoscience (suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (65 patents, rank #5,290) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.6/100 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 4 grants, compared with 61 in the 2015–2019 window, a -93% 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. Hisense Co., Ltd.'s 15.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 22 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
