Portfolio overview

Ebara Corporation has been granted 983 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ebara Corporation at rank #460 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 142 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, Ebara Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ebara sits between Beijing BOE Technology Development Co., Ltd. (991 patents, rank #456) and KAO Corporation (957 patents, rank #464) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.8/100 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 548 grants, compared with 435 in the 2015–2019 window, a +26% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Ebara Corporation's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 Ebara Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Ebara's 983 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Ebara ranks #460 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01L - see who else leads that technology area. H01L 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.
