pSemi Corporation grows its patent portfolio to over 1,000 issues and pending patents, globally. A Murata company focused on semiconductor integration, the company has increased its patent holding by 100 percent between 2017 and 2021. This reflects the companies continued RFIC and power management innovation leadership.
“For more than 30 years, pSemi has fostered a culture of innovation in which our talented inventors have pioneered novel technologies, industry-transformative architectures and unique design techniques,” says Takaki Murata, interim CEO at pSemi. “This culture, reinforced by our continued R&D investment, has resulted in one of the industry’s strongest patent portfolios. As we celebrate this patent milestone, we look forward to continuing our innovation legacy.”
pSemi’s semiconductor patent portfolio adds up to Murata’s portfolio of over 23,000 patents. Murata acquired pSemi in 2014, and since then the company’s portfolio has steadily grown, especially in the recent times. In addition to the quantity, the quality of pSemi’s semiconductor patent portfolio has been recognized as one of the industry’s most valuable in the IEEE Spectrum Patent Power Scorecard.
Since pSemi filed its first patent in 1993, the company has recognized more than 200 inventors. In addition to financial incentives, pSemi sponsors an Innovators Club that presents annual awards including ‘Patent of the Year’ and ‘Inventor of the Year’.
