Portfolio overview

Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. has been granted 678 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. at rank #661 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 77 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shinko sits between Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (684 patents, rank #657) and KCI Licensing, Inc. (673 patents, rank #665) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.6/100 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 291 grants, compared with 387 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd.'s 10.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 77 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
