Portfolio overview

Hyosung TNS Inc. has been granted 67 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Hyosung TNS Inc. at rank #5,159 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Hyosung TNS Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hyosung sits between Fujitsu Client Computing Limited (67 patents, rank #5,155) and IGT Global Soulutions Corporation (67 patents, rank #5,163) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.5/100 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 62 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1140% 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. Hyosung TNS Inc.'s 6.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hyosung TNS Inc. 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.
