What this shows Institute OF Semiconductors, Chinese Academy OF Sciences stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-WIDE, INNOV-STRONG, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #9,057 of 50,000; Innovation Score 61.9/100 sits in the top 3% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Hitachi Power Solutions Co., Ltd. (±0 grants).
Institute OF Semiconductors, Chinese Academy OF Sciences has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Institute OF Semiconductors, Chinese Academy OF Sciences at #9,057 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 43 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01S (DEVICES USING THE PROCESS OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION [LASER] TO AMPLIFY OR GENERATE LIGHT; DEVICES USING STIMULATED EMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN WAVE RANGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Institute OF Semiconductors, Chinese Academy OF Sciences is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Institute sits between Hitachi Power Solutions Co., Ltd. (35 patents, rank #9,050) and JCM American Corporation (35 patents, rank #9,058) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.9/100 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 21 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Institute OF Semiconductors, Chinese Academy OF Sciences's 10.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 43 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
