Portfolio overview

SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATION has been granted 106 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATION at rank #3,483 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 50.6/100 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 60 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window — a +30% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATION's 11.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SHIBAURA MECHATRONICS CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
