Portfolio overview

Mizkan Holdings Co., Ltd. has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Mizkan Holdings Co., Ltd. at rank #10,999 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 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, Mizkan Holdings Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Mizkan sits between Medrx Co., Ltd. (28 patents, rank #10,995) and Manehu Product Alliance, Llc (28 patents, rank #11,003) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.0/100 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 25 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +733% 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. Mizkan Holdings Co., Ltd.'s 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Mizkan Holdings Co., Ltd. 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.
