Portfolio overview

TENCENT AMERICA LLC has been granted 1,774 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing TENCENT AMERICA LLC at rank #229 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a US Corporation, TENCENT AMERICA LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 78.4/100 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 1,746 grants, compared with 28 in the 2015–2019 window — a +6136% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. TENCENT AMERICA LLC's 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TENCENT AMERICA LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
