Portfolio overview

SKC Solmics Co., Ltd. has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2021 and 2023, placing SKC Solmics Co., Ltd. at #20,435 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 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, SKC Solmics Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SKC sits between Simula Technology Inc. (14 patents, rank #20,386) and Societe DE Commercialisation DES Produits DE LA Recherche Appliquée Socpra Sciences ET Génie S.e.c. (14 patents, rank #20,394) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.9/100 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 2021 through 2023, with 14 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. SKC Solmics Co., Ltd.'s 14.7 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.
