Portfolio overview

HOYA LENS Thailand Ltd. has been granted 133 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HOYA LENS Thailand Ltd. at rank #2,879 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02C (SPECTACLES; SUNGLASSES OR GOGGLES INSOFAR AS THEY HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS SPECTACLES; CONTACT LENSES). As a Foreign Corporation, HOYA LENS Thailand Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HOYA sits between Beijing Sensetime Technology Development Co., Ltd (133 patents, rank #2,875) and Powertech Technology Inc. (133 patents, rank #2,883) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 113 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a +465% 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. HOYA LENS Thailand Ltd.'s 10.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HOYA LENS Thailand Ltd. 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.
