The verdict
ST holds 6 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #42,979 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
ST R&dtech Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing ST R&dtech Llc at rank #42,979 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, ST R&dtech Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ST sits between SRJ, Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,975) and STAR Group IND. Co., Ltd (6 patents, rank #42,983) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.0/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. ST R&dtech Llc's 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ST R&dtech Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
ST's 6 grants land it in the top 64% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
