Portfolio overview

Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd. has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd. at rank #5,110 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05Y (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES E05D AND E05F, RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, ELECTRIC CONTROL, POWER SUPPLY, POWER SIGNAL OR TRANSMISSION, USER INTERFACES, MOUNTING OR COUPLING, DETAIL). As a Foreign Corporation, Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sugatsune sits between Rohinni, Inc. (68 patents, rank #5,106) and Shanghai Kohler Electronics, Ltd. (68 patents, rank #5,114) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.9/100 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 25 grants, compared with 43 in the 2015–2019 window, a -42% 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. Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd.'s 5.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
