What this shows Shenzhen Guohua Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #14,933 of 50,000; Innovation Score 34.1/100 sits in the top 53% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Shanghai Sensetime Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd (±0 grants).
Shenzhen Guohua Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Shenzhen Guohua Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. at #14,933 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Shenzhen Guohua Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shenzhen sits between Shanghai Sensetime Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd (20 patents, rank #14,919) and Shikoku Chemicals Corporation (20 patents, rank #14,927) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.1/100 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 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +275% 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. Shenzhen Guohua Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.'s 10.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 16 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
