Portfolio overview
Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics has been granted 136 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics at rank #2,825 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.9/100 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 72 grants, compared with 64 in the 2015–2019 window — a +13% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics's 8.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
