Portfolio overview

Komatsu Industries Corporation has been granted 51 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Komatsu Industries Corporation at rank #6,549 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B30B (PRESSES IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Komatsu Industries Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Komatsu sits between Iseki & Co., Ltd. (51 patents, rank #6,545) and Lexisnexis RISK Solutions FL Inc. (51 patents, rank #6,553) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.7/100 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 30 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a +43% 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. Komatsu Industries Corporation's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Komatsu Industries Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
