Portfolio overview

Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd. has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd. at rank #11,201 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60B (VEHICLE WHEELS ; CASTORS; AXLES FOR WHEELS OR CASTORS; INCREASING WHEEL ADHESION). As a Foreign Corporation, Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Central sits between Camurus AB (27 patents, rank #11,197) and Co2pac Limited (27 patents, rank #11,205) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.8/100 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 12 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a -20% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd.'s 5.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Central Motor Wheel Co., 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.
