Portfolio overview

Fukuta Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2019 and 2021, placing Fukuta Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. at rank #35,333 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62K (CYCLES; CYCLE FRAMES; CYCLE STEERING DEVICES; RIDER-OPERATED TERMINAL CONTROLS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR CYCLES; CYCLE AXLE SUSPENSIONS; CYCLE SIDE-CARS, FORECARS, OR THE LIKE). As a Foreign Corporation, Fukuta Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fukuta sits between Fujian Oumeida Electric Machine Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #35,329) and Futurechem Co., Ltd (7 patents, rank #35,337) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 22.3/100 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 6 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +500% 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. Fukuta Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.'s 4.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fukuta Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
