What this shows Chubu Electric Power Company, Incorporated stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #18,486 of 50,000; Innovation Score 54.6/100 sits in the top 8% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Cheetah Mobile Inc. (±0 grants).
Chubu Electric Power Company, Incorporated has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Chubu Electric Power Company, Incorporated at #18,486 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Chubu Electric Power Company, Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Chubu sits between Cheetah Mobile Inc. (15 patents, rank #18,471) and Cole-parmer Instrument Company Llc (15 patents, rank #18,479) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.6/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 5 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -44% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Chubu Electric Power Company, Incorporated's 8.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 31 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
