Portfolio overview

Wistron Neweb Corp. has been granted 489 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Wistron Neweb Corp. at rank #914 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 80 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01Q (ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS). As a Foreign Corporation, Wistron Neweb Corp. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wistron sits between Fitbit, Llc (492 patents, rank #910) and Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, Llc (485 patents, rank #918) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.6/100 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 262 grants, compared with 227 in the 2015–2019 window, a +15% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Wistron Neweb Corp.'s 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 80 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wistron Neweb Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
