USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 15 technology areas, active 2016–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G09F (DISPLAYING; ADVERTISING; SIGNS; LABELS OR NAME-PLATES; SEALS).
The verdict
Shenzhen holds 6 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #42,832 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shenzhen AOTO Electronics Co., Ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing Shenzhen AOTO Electronics Co., Ltd. at rank #42,832 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G09F (DISPLAYING; ADVERTISING; SIGNS; LABELS OR NAME-PLATES; SEALS). As a Foreign Corporation, Shenzhen AOTO Electronics Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shenzhen sits between SHEI Chung HSIN IND. Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #42,828) and Shenzhen Baxia Technology Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #42,836) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Shenzhen AOTO Electronics Co., Ltd.'s 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shenzhen AOTO Electronics Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shenzhen's 6 grants land it in the top 33% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
