Portfolio overview
PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. has been granted 13,148 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. at rank #23 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 419 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 69.0/100 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 5,932 grants, compared with 7,216 in the 2015–2019 window — a -18% 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 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.'s 10.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
