Portfolio overview

Suzuki Motor Corporation has been granted 616 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Suzuki Motor Corporation at rank #741 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 120 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Suzuki Motor Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Suzuki sits between Semes Co., Ltd. (618 patents, rank #737) and Allergan, Inc. (612 patents, rank #745) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.6/100 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 237 grants, compared with 379 in the 2015–2019 window, a -37% 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. Suzuki Motor Corporation's 6.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Suzuki Motor Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
