Portfolio overview

Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd. has been granted 2,279 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd. at rank #171 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 191 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hyundai sits between Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft (2,307 patents, rank #167) and Becton, Dickinson And Company (2,235 patents, rank #175) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 79.0/100 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 1,745 grants, compared with 534 in the 2015–2019 window, a +227% 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. Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd.'s 12.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hyundai Mobis 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.
