Portfolio overview

JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATION has been granted 63 US utility patents between 2018 and 2021, placing JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATION at rank #5,451 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 54 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C10M (LUBRICATING COMPOSITIONS ; USE OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES EITHER ALONE OR AS LUBRICATING INGREDIENTS IN A LUBRICATING COMPOSITION). As a Foreign Corporation, JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATION is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 20 grants, compared with 43 in the 2015–2019 window — a -53% 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. JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATION's 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 54 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
