Portfolio overview

NABTESCO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION has been granted 43 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing NABTESCO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION at rank #7,594 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60T (VEHICLE BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF; BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF, IN GENERAL ; ARRANGEMENT OF BRAKING ELEMENTS ON VEHICLES IN GENERAL; PORTABLE DEVICES FOR PREVENTING UNWANTED MO). As a Foreign Corporation, NABTESCO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 35.6/100 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 9 grants, compared with 34 in the 2015–2019 window — a -74% 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. NABTESCO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION's 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NABTESCO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
