Portfolio overview

TSMC CHINA COMPANY, LIMITED has been granted 112 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing TSMC CHINA COMPANY, LIMITED at rank #3,334 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, TSMC CHINA COMPANY, LIMITED is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.1/100 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 2021 through 2025, with 112 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. TSMC CHINA COMPANY, LIMITED's 20.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 TSMC CHINA COMPANY, LIMITED against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
