Portfolio overview

Soraa Laser Diode, Inc. has been granted 151 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Soraa Laser Diode, Inc. at rank #2,581 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01S (DEVICES USING THE PROCESS OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION [LASER] TO AMPLIFY OR GENERATE LIGHT; DEVICES USING STIMULATED EMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN WAVE RANGES). As a US Corporation, Soraa Laser Diode, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Soraa sits between Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co., Ltd. (151 patents, rank #2,577) and Auckland Uniservices Limited (150 patents, rank #2,585) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.2/100 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 37 grants, compared with 114 in the 2015–2019 window, a -68% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Soraa Laser Diode, Inc.'s 21.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Soraa Laser Diode, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
