Portfolio overview

Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation at rank #25,242 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sharp sits between Sequoia Sciences, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,238) and Shenzhen Deren Electronic Co., Ltd. (11 patents, rank #25,246) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 11 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Sharp's 11 grants land it in the top 19% 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 - Sharp ranks #25,242 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G01N - see who else leads that technology area. G01N 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.
