Portfolio overview
SLT Technologies, Inc. has been granted 33 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing SLT Technologies, Inc. at rank #9,612 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C30B (SINGLE-CRYSTAL GROWTH ; UNIDIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION OF EUTECTIC MATERIAL OR UNIDIRECTIONAL DEMIXING OF EUTECTOID MATERIAL; REFINING BY ZONE-MELTING OF MATERIAL ; PRODUCTION OF A HOMOGENEOUS POLYCRYS). As a US Corporation, SLT Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.1/100 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 22 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. SLT Technologies, Inc.'s 21.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SLT Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
