Portfolio overview

Smart Liquid Crystal Technologies Co., Ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Smart Liquid Crystal Technologies Co., Ltd. at rank #43,278 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02F (OPTICAL DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CONTROL OF LIGHT BY MODIFICATION OF THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MEDIA OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED THEREIN; NON-LINEAR OPTICS; FREQUENCY-CHANGING OF LIGHT; OPTICA). As a Foreign Corporation, Smart Liquid Crystal Technologies Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Smart sits between Slyce Acquisition Inc. (6 patents, rank #43,274) and Smart And Armor Protected, Llc (6 patents, rank #43,282) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.9/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 6 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. Smart Liquid Crystal Technologies Co., Ltd.'s 11.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Smart Liquid Crystal Technologies Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
