Portfolio overview
SOPHIA & WILLIAM BRANDS CO. LTD has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing SOPHIA & WILLIAM BRANDS CO. LTD at rank #9,368 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47B (TABLES; DESKS; OFFICE FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; GENERAL DETAILS OF FURNITURE). As a Foreign Corporation, SOPHIA & WILLIAM BRANDS CO. LTD is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 36.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 34 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. SOPHIA & WILLIAM BRANDS CO. LTD's 1.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SOPHIA & WILLIAM BRANDS CO. LTD against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
