Portfolio overview
TCL TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORPORATION has been granted 49 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing TCL TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORPORATION at rank #6,848 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10K (ORGANIC ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, TCL TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.8/100 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 49 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. TCL TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORPORATION's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TCL TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
TCL's 49 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — TCL ranks #6,848 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H10K — see who else leads that technology area. H10K leaders
- 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.
