Portfolio overview

Honda Access Corp. has been granted 64 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Honda Access Corp. at #5,365 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 53 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Honda Access Corp. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Honda sits between Ferro Corporation (64 patents, rank #5,360) and Infoblox Inc. (64 patents, rank #5,368) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.7/100 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 25 grants, compared with 37 in the 2015–2019 window, a -32% 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. Honda Access Corp.'s 6.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 53 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
