Portfolio overview
Sakata Seed Corporation has been granted 104 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sakata Seed Corporation at rank #3,549 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01H (NEW PLANTS OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING THEM; PLANT REPRODUCTION BY TISSUE CULTURE TECHNIQUES). As a Foreign Corporation, Sakata Seed Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 38.4/100 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 41 grants, compared with 63 in the 2015–2019 window — a -35% 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. Sakata Seed Corporation's 10.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sakata Seed Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
