What this shows Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,042 of 50,000; Innovation Score 42.3/100 sits in the top 31% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Lucidity Lights, Inc. (±0 grants).
Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. at #13,042 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23L (FOODS, FOODSTUFFS OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; PREPARATION OR TREATMENT THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Matsutani sits between Lucidity Lights, Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,030) and MING CHI University OF Technology (23 patents, rank #13,038) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.3/100 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 8 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a -47% 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. Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.'s 6.7 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 21 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
