The verdict
New holds 10 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #26,979 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
New Way Tools Co., Ltd. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing New Way Tools Co., Ltd. at rank #26,979 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25B (TOOLS OR BENCH DEVICES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, FOR FASTENING, CONNECTING, DISENGAGING OR HOLDING). As a Foreign Corporation, New Way Tools Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, New sits between Neurotrack Technologies, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,975) and Nice North America Llc (10 patents, rank #26,983) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. New Way Tools Co., Ltd.'s 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark New Way Tools Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
New's 10 grants land it in the top 92% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
