Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 26 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2015–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H03H (IMPEDANCE NETWORKS, e.g. RESONANT CIRCUITS; RESONATORS).
The verdict
SII holds 26 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #11,797 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
SII Crystal Technology Inc. has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing SII Crystal Technology Inc. at rank #11,797 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H03H (IMPEDANCE NETWORKS, e.g. RESONANT CIRCUITS; RESONATORS). As a Foreign Corporation, SII Crystal Technology Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SII sits between Shanghai Institute OF Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy OF Sciences (26 patents, rank #11,793) and Solazyme, Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,801) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.3/100 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 2 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a -92% 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. SII Crystal Technology Inc.'s 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SII Crystal Technology Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
SII's 26 grants land it in the top 73% 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.
