Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 24 granted patents across 15 technology areas, active 2023–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B24B (MACHINES, DEVICES, OR PROCESSES FOR GRINDING OR POLISHING ; DRESSING OR CONDITIONING OF ABRADING SURFACES; FEEDING OF GRINDING, POLISHING, OR LAPPING AGENTS).
The verdict
SK holds 24 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #12,661 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
SK Enpulse Co., Ltd. has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing SK Enpulse Co., Ltd. at rank #12,661 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B24B (MACHINES, DEVICES, OR PROCESSES FOR GRINDING OR POLISHING ; DRESSING OR CONDITIONING OF ABRADING SURFACES; FEEDING OF GRINDING, POLISHING, OR LAPPING AGENTS). As a Foreign Corporation, SK Enpulse Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SK sits between Shenzhen NEW Degree Technology Co., Ltd. (24 patents, rank #12,657) and SPAN TECH Llc (24 patents, rank #12,665) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.8/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 24 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. SK Enpulse Co., Ltd.'s 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SK Enpulse Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
SK's 24 grants land it in the top 10% 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.
