USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES).
The verdict
Future holds 6 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #40,330 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Future Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Future Technology Co., Ltd. at rank #40,330 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Future Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Future sits between Funkitron, Inc. (6 patents, rank #40,326) and G&k-vijuk Intern. Corp. (6 patents, rank #40,334) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.5/100 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 5 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +400% 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. Future Technology Co., Ltd.'s 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Future Technology Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Future's 6 grants land it in the top 46% 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.
