Portfolio overview

Hisense Electric Co., Ltd. has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Hisense Electric Co., Ltd. at rank #3,014 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 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, Hisense Electric Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hisense sits between Deutsche Post Ag (126 patents, rank #3,010) and L3harris Technologies, Inc. (126 patents, rank #3,018) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.0/100 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 3 grants, compared with 123 in the 2015–2019 window, a -98% 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. Hisense Electric Co., Ltd.'s 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hisense Electric Co., 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.
