Portfolio overview

Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD. has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD. at rank #9,366 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a Foreign Corporation, Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shimano sits between Saint-gobain Performance Plastics Pampus Gmbh (34 patents, rank #9,362) and Stego-holding Gmbh (34 patents, rank #9,370) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.3/100 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 19 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +27% 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. Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD.'s 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
