Portfolio overview

Kenwood Limited has been granted 44 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Kenwood Limited at #7,428 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Kenwood Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kenwood sits between ICTK Holdings Co., Ltd. (44 patents, rank #7,424) and Lancium Llc (44 patents, rank #7,432) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.9/100 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 13 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a -58% 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. Kenwood Limited's 8.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 14 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
