Portfolio overview

Hyundai Autron Co., Ltd. has been granted 147 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Hyundai Autron Co., Ltd. at rank #2,641 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Hyundai Autron Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hyundai sits between Blue Yonder Group, Inc. (147 patents, rank #2,637) and James R. Glidewell Dental Ceramics, Inc. (147 patents, rank #2,645) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.0/100 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 45 grants, compared with 102 in the 2015–2019 window, a -56% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Hyundai Autron Co., Ltd.'s 10.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hyundai Autron Co., 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.
