USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 14 technology areas, active 2015–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES).
The verdict
Matsuo holds 9 US patents across 14 technology areas, rank #29,350 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Matsuo Industries, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Matsuo Industries, Inc. at rank #29,350 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES). As a Foreign Corporation, Matsuo Industries, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Matsuo sits between Mascot International A/s (9 patents, rank #29,346) and Maxpoint Interactive, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,354) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.9/100 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 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% 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. Matsuo Industries, Inc.'s 6.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Matsuo Industries, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Matsuo's 9 grants land it in the top 24% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
