Portfolio overview

Asics Corporation has been granted 184 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Asics Corporation at rank #2,137 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 44 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR). As a Foreign Corporation, Asics Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Asics sits between Proterial, Ltd. (185 patents, rank #2,133) and Foundation OF Soongsil University-industry Cooperation (184 patents, rank #2,141) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.5/100 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 153 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a +394% 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. Asics Corporation's 10.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 44 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Asics Corporation 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.
