Portfolio overview

SK Keyfoundry Inc. has been granted 41 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing SK Keyfoundry Inc. at #7,928 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, SK Keyfoundry Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SK sits between Sciocs Company Limited (41 patents, rank #7,920) and Supersonic Imagine (41 patents, rank #7,928) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2024 through 2025, with 41 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. SK Keyfoundry Inc.'s 15.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

SK's 41 grants land it in the top 7% 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 - SK ranks #7,928 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H10D - see who else leads that technology area. H10D 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.
