Portfolio overview

Hankook TIRE & Technology Co., Ltd. has been granted 60 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Hankook TIRE & Technology Co., Ltd. at #5,675 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60C (VEHICLE TYRES; TYRE INFLATION; TYRE CHANGING; CONNECTING VALVES TO INFLATABLE ELASTIC BODIES IN GENERAL; DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS RELATED TO TYRES). As a Foreign Corporation, Hankook TIRE & Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hankook sits between F.s.korea Industries Inc. (60 patents, rank #5,669) and Hyperloop Technologies, Inc. (60 patents, rank #5,677) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 60 total grants over that period. 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. Hankook TIRE & Technology Co., Ltd.'s 4.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 27 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
