According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), Zing Semiconductor Corporation ranks #8,149 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does Zing Semiconductor Corporation hold?

Zing Semiconductor Corporation holds 40 US utility patents granted between 2017 and 2025, spanning 11 technology areas.

What is Zing Semiconductor Corporation's Innovation Score?

Zing Semiconductor Corporation has an Innovation Score of 50.5 out of 100 (top 13% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does Zing Semiconductor Corporation focus on?

Zing Semiconductor Corporation's top technology area is H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10) with 27 patents, ranking #479 of 3,373 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 11 CPC subclasses total.

Is Zing Semiconductor Corporation's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Zing Semiconductor Corporation's recent grant velocity is -24% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for Zing Semiconductor Corporation's patents?

Zing Semiconductor Corporation's patents average 9.9 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Zing Semiconductor Corporation patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Zing's Innovation Score is 50.5/100 (top 13% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Zing?

Each dot is one of Zing’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Zing’s own 9.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Zing's grants concentrate

Zing Semiconductor Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 67.5% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Zing sits between Walter R. Tucker Enterprises, Ltd and AIC Inc..

Zing's three-year grant acceleration

Zing Semiconductor Corporation shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
