Portfolio overview

NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD. has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD. at rank #8,649 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01P (COOLING OF MACHINES OR ENGINES IN GENERAL; COOLING OF INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES). As a Foreign Corporation, NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 42.0/100 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 22 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window — a +47% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD.'s 6.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
