Overall rank by patents
#16,127
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 18 granted patents across 15 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2016–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, JFE ranks #16,127 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 18 patents across 15 technology areas.

What this shows JFE Chemical Corporation stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-UP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #16,127 of 50,000; Innovation Score 33.5/100 sits in the top 55% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Japan Climate Systems Corporation (±0 grants).
JFE Chemical Corporation has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing JFE Chemical Corporation at #16,127 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, JFE Chemical Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, JFE sits between Japan Climate Systems Corporation (18 patents, rank #16,122) and Juntendo Educational Foundation (18 patents, rank #16,130) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.5/100 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 9 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% 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. JFE Chemical Corporation's 10.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 15 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
