Portfolio overview

SHENZHEN SNC OPTO ELECTRONIC CO., LTD has been granted 96 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing SHENZHEN SNC OPTO ELECTRONIC CO., LTD at rank #3,784 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21V (FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OR DETAILS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF; STRUCTURAL COMBINATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OTHER ARTICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, SHENZHEN SNC OPTO ELECTRONIC CO., LTD is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 83 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window — a +538% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 SNC OPTO ELECTRONIC CO., LTD's 4.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SHENZHEN SNC OPTO ELECTRONIC CO., LTD against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Shenzhen's 96 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 — Shenzhen ranks #3,784 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F21V — see who else leads that technology area. F21V 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.
