Portfolio overview
Carrier Japan Corporation has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Carrier Japan Corporation at rank #14,537 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F24F (AIR-CONDITIONING; AIR-HUMIDIFICATION; VENTILATION; USE OF AIR CURRENTS FOR SCREENING). As a Foreign Corporation, Carrier Japan Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.9/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 20 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. Carrier Japan Corporation's 6.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Carrier Japan Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
