The verdict
Japan holds 57 US patents across 19 technology areas, rank #5,949 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Japan CASH Machine Co., Ltd. has been granted 57 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Japan CASH Machine Co., Ltd. at rank #5,949 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07D (HANDLING OF COINS OR VALUABLE PAPERS, e.g. TESTING, SORTING BY DENOMINATIONS, COUNTING, DISPENSING, CHANGING OR DEPOSITING). As a Foreign Corporation, Japan CASH Machine Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Japan sits between Innocom Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (57 patents, rank #5,945) and Kyosan Electric MFG. Co., Ltd. (57 patents, rank #5,953) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.7/100 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 44 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a +238% 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. Japan CASH Machine Co., Ltd.'s 11.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Japan CASH Machine Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Japan's 57 grants land it in the top 20% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
