What this shows Komatsu Forest AB stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #18,812 of 50,000; Innovation Score 44.6/100 sits in the top 25% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Kancera AB (±0 grants).
Komatsu Forest AB has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Komatsu Forest AB at #18,812 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01G (HORTICULTURE; CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES, FLOWERS, RICE, FRUIT, VINES, HOPS OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; WATERING). As a Foreign Corporation, Komatsu Forest AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Komatsu sits between Kancera AB (15 patents, rank #18,809) and Kostal Of America, Inc. (15 patents, rank #18,817) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.6/100 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 9 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +80% 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. Komatsu Forest AB's 12.9 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 24 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
