Portfolio overview

SHANGHAI MICRO ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT (GROUP) CO., LTD has been granted 110 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing SHANGHAI MICRO ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT (GROUP) CO., LTD at rank #3,382 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03F (PHOTOMECHANICAL PRODUCTION OF TEXTURED OR PATTERNED SURFACES, e.g. FOR PRINTING, FOR PROCESSING OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES; MATERIALS THEREFOR; ORIGINALS THEREFOR; APPARATUS SPECIALLY ADAPTED THEREFOR;). As a Foreign Corporation, SHANGHAI MICRO ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT (GROUP) CO., LTD is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 64 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window — a +39% 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 MICRO ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT (GROUP) CO., LTD's 13.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SHANGHAI MICRO ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT (GROUP) CO., LTD against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
