USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 133 granted patents across 34 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION).
The verdict
Hisense holds 133 US patents across 34 technology areas, rank #2,880 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 133 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. at rank #2,880 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hisense sits between DB Hitek Co., Ltd. (133 patents, rank #2,876) and Research Triangle Institute (133 patents, rank #2,884) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.1/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 133 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 Visual Technology Co., Ltd.'s 15.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hisense's 133 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.
