The verdict
DY holds 25 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #11,987 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
DY AUTO Corporation has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing DY AUTO Corporation at rank #11,987 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60S (SERVICING, CLEANING, REPAIRING, SUPPORTING, LIFTING, OR MANOEUVRING OF VEHICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, DY AUTO Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DY sits between DANA TM4 Inc. (25 patents, rank #11,983) and Deep Isolation, Inc. (25 patents, rank #11,991) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.5/100 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 18 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +157% 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. DY AUTO Corporation's 6.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DY AUTO Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
DY's 25 grants land it in the top 16% 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.
