Portfolio overview

Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. at rank #24,952 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01V (GEOPHYSICS; GRAVITATIONAL MEASUREMENTS; DETECTING MASSES OR OBJECTS; TAGS). As a Foreign Corporation, Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Panasonic sits between Own Data Company Ltd (11 patents, rank #24,948) and Pbbpolisur S.r.l. (11 patents, rank #24,956) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.3/100 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 5 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -17% 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. Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd.'s 6.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
