Portfolio overview

Nubia Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2018 and 2020, placing Nubia Technology Co., Ltd. at #11,371 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, Nubia Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nubia sits between Nextronics Engineering Corp. (27 patents, rank #11,359) and National University Corporation Tohoku University (27 patents, rank #11,367) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a -71% 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. Nubia Technology Co., Ltd.'s 14.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 11 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in 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.
