Portfolio overview

Denso International America, Inc. has been granted 736 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Denso International America, Inc. at rank #601 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 160 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60H (ARRANGEMENTS OF HEATING, COOLING, VENTILATING OR OTHER AIR-TREATING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR PASSENGER OR GOODS SPACES OF VEHICLES). As a US Corporation, Denso International America, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Denso sits between Shanghai Tianma Micro-electronics Co., Ltd. (743 patents, rank #597) and Logitech Europe S.a. (731 patents, rank #605) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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 383 grants, compared with 353 in the 2015–2019 window, a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Denso International America, Inc.'s 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Denso International America, Inc. 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.
