What this shows SEA Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,144 of 50,000; Innovation Score 52.3/100 sits in the top 10% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Saint-gobain Cristaux ET Detecteurs (±0 grants).
SEA Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing SEA Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. at #13,144 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.5 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, SEA Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SEA sits between Saint-gobain Cristaux ET Detecteurs (23 patents, rank #13,130) and Shandong Yingxin Computer Technologies Co., Ltd. (23 patents, rank #13,138) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.3/100 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 15 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +114% 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. SEA Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd.'s 8.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 21 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
