Portfolio overview

Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. has been granted 344 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. at rank #1,236 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 69 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07D (HANDLING OF COINS OR VALUABLE PAPERS, e.g. TESTING, SORTING BY DENOMINATIONS, COUNTING, DISPENSING, CHANGING OR DEPOSITING). As a Foreign Corporation, Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Oki sits between AGCO Corporation (344 patents, rank #1,232) and Hartford FIRE Insurance Company (342 patents, rank #1,240) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.3/100 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 137 grants, compared with 207 in the 2015–2019 window, a -34% 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. Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.'s 10.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 69 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Oki's 344 grants land it in the top 5% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Oki ranks #1,236 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G07D - see who else leads that technology area. G07D leaders
  • 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.
