Portfolio overview

DENSO TEN Limited has been granted 273 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing DENSO TEN Limited at rank #1,522 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 77 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06V (IMAGE OR VIDEO RECOGNITION OR UNDERSTANDING). As a Foreign Corporation, DENSO TEN Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.1/100 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 248 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window — a +892% 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 TEN Limited's 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 77 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DENSO TEN Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
