Portfolio overview

Omron Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. has been granted 115 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Omron Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. at rank #3,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Omron Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Omron sits between Minka Lighting, Inc. (115 patents, rank #3,259) and Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (115 patents, rank #3,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.1/100 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 106 in the 2015–2019 window, a -92% 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. Omron Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd.'s 8.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Omron Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
