pSemi Recognized for Second Consecutive Year on Distinguished "IEEE Spectrum" Patent Power Scorecard

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- pSemi™ Corporation (formerly known as Peregrine Semiconductor), a Murata company focused on semiconductor integration, announces its ranking for the second consecutive year on the "IEEE Spectrum" Patent Power Scorecard. This annually published benchmark identifies the technology world's most valuable patent portfolios and ranks the companies by a Pipeline Power score. The 2017 scorecard ranks the pSemi patent portfolio among the top 10 in the semiconductor manufacturing sector. The pSemi patent portfolio now exceeds 500 issued and pending patents and continues to aggressively grow. Last week, pSemi announced its corporate name change from Peregrine Semiconductor to pSemi and celebrated its 30-year anniversary of semiconductor technology innovation.

"pSemi is honored to be recognized for the second year by the Patent Power Scorecard," says Dan Nobbe, vice president of corporate research and intellectual property (IP) development at pSemi. "Our top 10 ranking within semiconductor manufacturers demonstrates our team's commitment to innovation and our patent portfolio's strength. Though we are excited to surpass the 500-patent-filings milestone within our portfolio, we are even more proud of the quality of our patents. It is a testament to our forward-thinking engineers and the groundbreaking role our team has played in advancing semiconductor technology for the last 30 years."

The Patent Power Scorecard is an annual benchmarking of company patent portfolios by 1790 Analytics. Companies are ranked on Pipeline Power—an overall measure of the strength of the patent portfolio that considers both its size and quality. The 2017 Scorecard is based on an analysis of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records through the end of 2016. Other organizations on the 2017 scorecard include Amazon, Google, Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Microsoft, Samsung and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). pSemi ranks in the top 10 when compared to semiconductor giants in the processor, memory and fabrication areas, and pSemi leads peer companies in the wireless connectivity space.
