What this shows SK Microworks Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #10,455 of 50,000; Innovation Score 55.5/100 sits in the top 7% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Scaleflux, Inc. (±0 grants).
SK Microworks Co., Ltd. has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing SK Microworks Co., Ltd. at #10,455 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08J (WORKING-UP; GENERAL PROCESSES OF COMPOUNDING; AFTER-TREATMENT NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASSES C08B, C08C, C08F, C08G or C08H). As a Foreign Corporation, SK Microworks Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SK sits between Scaleflux, Inc. (30 patents, rank #10,445) and Sonendo, Inc. (30 patents, rank #10,453) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.5/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 30 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 Microworks Co., Ltd.'s 9.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 25 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
