Portfolio overview

Vishay-Siliconix, LLC has been granted 89 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Vishay-Siliconix, LLC at rank #4,070 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a US Corporation, Vishay-Siliconix, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 37.4/100 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 22 grants, compared with 67 in the 2015–2019 window — a -67% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Vishay-Siliconix, LLC's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vishay-Siliconix, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
