Portfolio overview
Nyquist Semiconductor Limited has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2019 and 2021, placing Nyquist Semiconductor Limited at rank #36,747 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H03M (CODING; DECODING; CODE CONVERSION IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Nyquist Semiconductor Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nyquist sits between Nuix Pty Ltd (7 patents, rank #36,743) and O/d Vision Inc. (7 patents, rank #36,751) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.6/100 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 4 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Nyquist Semiconductor Limited's 23.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nyquist Semiconductor Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Nyquist's 7 grants land it in the top 76% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Nyquist ranks #36,747 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H03M - see who else leads that technology area. H03M leaders
- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
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.
