Portfolio overview
Stmicroelectronics. KK has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Stmicroelectronics. KK at rank #37,494 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G11B (INFORMATION STORAGE BASED ON RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN RECORD CARRIER AND TRANSDUCER). As a Foreign Corporation, Stmicroelectronics. KK is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stmicroelectronics. sits between Stichting Maastricht Radiation Oncology Maastro Clinic (7 patents, rank #37,490) and Strike BIO, Inc. (7 patents, rank #37,498) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.0/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Stmicroelectronics. KK's 22.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stmicroelectronics. KK against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
