Portfolio overview

Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. at rank #11,156 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23L (FOODS, FOODSTUFFS OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; PREPARATION OR TREATMENT THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Asahi sits between Anagog Ltd. (27 patents, rank #11,152) and Advanced Flexible Circuits Co., Ltd. (27 patents, rank #11,160) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.3/100 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 16 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +45% 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. Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd.'s 8.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. 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.
