Portfolio overview

SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES has been granted 70 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES at rank #4,981 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.0/100 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 38 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window — a +19% 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. SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES's 10.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 SHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF MICROSYSTEM AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Shanghai's 70 grants land it in the top 8% 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 — Shanghai ranks #4,981 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01L — see who else leads that technology area. H01L 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.
