USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 1,461 granted patents across 64 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10).
The verdict
Nanya holds 1,461 US patents across 64 technology areas, rank #291 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nanya Technology Corporation has been granted 1,461 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nanya Technology Corporation at rank #291 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, Nanya Technology Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nanya sits between Marvell International Ltd. (1,491 patents, rank #287) and VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (1,451 patents, rank #295) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 75.0/100 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 1,258 grants, compared with 203 in the 2015–2019 window, a +520% 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. Nanya Technology Corporation's 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nanya Technology Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nanya's 1,461 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
