Portfolio overview
SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD. has been granted 372 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD. at rank #1,136 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.9/100 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 213 grants, compared with 159 in the 2015–2019 window — a +34% 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. SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD.'s 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
