Portfolio overview
Kobe Bio Robotix Co., Ltd. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Kobe Bio Robotix Co., Ltd. at rank #29,212 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a Foreign Corporation, Kobe Bio Robotix Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Kobe sits between Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals, Gmbh (9 patents, rank #29,208) and Korea Pallet Pool Co., Ltd (9 patents, rank #29,216) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 20.9/100 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 8 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +700% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Kobe Bio Robotix Co., Ltd.'s 2.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Kobe Bio Robotix Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

- Most of this portfolio concentrates in B01L - see who else leads that technology area. B01L leaders
- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
