Portfolio overview

Shinano Kenshi Kabushiki Kaisha has been granted 69 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Shinano Kenshi Kabushiki Kaisha at rank #5,035 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES). As a Foreign Corporation, Shinano Kenshi Kabushiki Kaisha is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shinano sits between PAX Labs, Inc. (69 patents, rank #5,031) and Sun World International, Llc (69 patents, rank #5,039) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.6/100 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 43 grants, compared with 26 in the 2015–2019 window, a +65% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Shinano Kenshi Kabushiki Kaisha's 4.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Shinano Kenshi Kabushiki Kaisha against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
