The verdict
Denso holds 9 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #28,538 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Denso IT Laboratory, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Denso IT Laboratory, Inc. at rank #28,538 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Denso IT Laboratory, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Denso sits between DELO Industrie Klebstoffe Gmbh & Co. Kgaa (9 patents, rank #28,534) and Diamond Electric MFG. Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #28,542) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.5/100 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 6 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Denso IT Laboratory, Inc.'s 11.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Denso IT Laboratory, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Denso's 9 grants land it in the top 62% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
