Portfolio overview

Cosmex Co., Ltd. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Cosmex Co., Ltd. at rank #24,087 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45D (HAIRDRESSING OR SHAVING EQUIPMENT ; EQUIPMENT FOR COSMETICS OR COSMETIC TREATMENTS, e.g. FOR MANICURING OR PEDICURING). As a Foreign Corporation, Cosmex Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 29.3/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 7 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Cosmex Co., Ltd.'s 11.6 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 Cosmex Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Cosmex's 11 grants land it in the top 70% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A45D - see who else leads that technology area. A45D leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
