Portfolio overview

Nissin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Nissin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. at rank #11,018 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a Foreign Corporation, Nissin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nissin sits between Neogen Corporation (28 patents, rank #11,014) and Nemoto Kyorindo Co., Ltd. (28 patents, rank #11,022) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.9/100 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 17 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +55% 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. Nissin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.'s 10.1 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 Nissin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
