USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 361 granted patents across 21 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS).
The verdict
Shenzhen holds 361 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #1,181 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd. has been granted 361 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd. at rank #1,181 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shenzhen sits between Soochow University (362 patents, rank #1,177) and University Of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (360 patents, rank #1,185) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.1/100 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 361 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. Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shenzhen Shokz Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Shenzhen's 361 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
