USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 107 granted patents across 22 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS).
The verdict
Sunshine holds 107 US patents across 22 technology areas, rank #3,460 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sunshine LAKE Pharma Co., Ltd. has been granted 107 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sunshine LAKE Pharma Co., Ltd. at rank #3,460 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07D (HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Sunshine LAKE Pharma Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sunshine sits between Ohio University (107 patents, rank #3,456) and WMS Gaming, Inc. (107 patents, rank #3,464) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.1/100 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 41 grants, compared with 66 in the 2015–2019 window, a -38% 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. Sunshine LAKE Pharma Co., Ltd.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sunshine LAKE Pharma Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sunshine's 107 grants land it in the top 19% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
