Overall rank by patents
#3,853
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 94 granted patents across 47 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F16G (BELTS, CABLES, OR ROPES, PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR DRIVING PURPOSES; CHAINS; FITTINGS PREDOMINANTLY USED THEREFOR).
Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. has been granted 94 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. at rank #3,853 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 47 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16G (BELTS, CABLES, OR ROPES, PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR DRIVING PURPOSES; CHAINS; FITTINGS PREDOMINANTLY USED THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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 59 grants, compared with 35 in the 2015–2019 window — a +69% 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. Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd.'s 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 47 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
