Portfolio overview

Fukui Prefectural Government has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fukui Prefectural Government at rank #15,279 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Government, Fukui Prefectural Government is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fukui sits between Freie Universität Berlin (19 patents, rank #15,275) and Falcon Power, Llc (19 patents, rank #15,283) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.6/100 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 10 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +11% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign Government 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. Fukui Prefectural Government's 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fukui Prefectural Government against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
