Portfolio overview

ANKO FOOD MACHINE CO., LTD. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing ANKO FOOD MACHINE CO., LTD. at rank #34,150 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A21C (MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT FOR MAKING OR PROCESSING DOUGHS; HANDLING BAKED ARTICLES MADE FROM DOUGH). As a Foreign Corporation, ANKO FOOD MACHINE CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 22.7/100 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 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window — a +150% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. ANKO FOOD MACHINE CO., LTD.'s 6.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ANKO FOOD MACHINE CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
