Overall rank by patents
#7,844
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 41 granted patents across 24 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2019–2024. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Fujifilm ranks #7,844 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 41 patents across 24 technology areas.
Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. has been granted 41 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. at #7,844 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fujifilm sits between Element Biosciences, Inc. (41 patents, rank #7,837) and GE Oil & Gas ESP, Inc. (41 patents, rank #7,845) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.0/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 35 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a +483% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd.'s 11.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Fujifilm's 41 grants land it in the top 24% 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.
