Portfolio overview

Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha has been granted 390 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha at rank #1,095 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 85 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Mitsubishi sits between Ademco Inc. (390 patents, rank #1,091) and View, Inc. (389 patents, rank #1,099) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.7/100 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 117 grants, compared with 273 in the 2015–2019 window, a -57% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha's 8.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 85 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
