The verdict
On-bright holds 316 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #1,338 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
On-bright Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd. has been granted 316 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing On-bright Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd. at rank #1,338 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02M (APPARATUS FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN AC AND AC, BETWEEN AC AND DC, OR BETWEEN DC AND DC, AND FOR USE WITH MAINS OR SIMILAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS; CONVERSION OF DC OR AC INPUT POWER INTO SURGE OUTPUT POWER;). As a Foreign Corporation, On-bright Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, On-bright sits between Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (317 patents, rank #1,334) and Masonite Corporation (315 patents, rank #1,342) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.9/100 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 144 grants, compared with 172 in the 2015–2019 window, a -16% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. On-bright Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd.'s 22.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark On-bright Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
On-bright's 316 grants land it in the top 14% 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.
