Portfolio overview

CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V. has been granted 150 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V. at rank #2,586 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B41J (TYPEWRITERS; SELECTIVE PRINTING MECHANISMS, i.e. MECHANISMS PRINTING OTHERWISE THAN FROM A FORME; CORRECTION OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS). As a Foreign Corporation, CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 150 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V.'s 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CANON PRODUCTION PRINTING HOLDING B.V. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
