Portfolio overview

KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA has been granted 1,705 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA at rank #249 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 262 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25J (MANIPULATORS; CHAMBERS PROVIDED WITH MANIPULATION DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 885 grants, compared with 820 in the 2015–2019 window — a +8% 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. KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA's 9.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, 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 KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
