The Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd. has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd. at rank #9,143 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, The Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Technical University Of Denmark (35 patents, rank #9,139) and Touchstone International Medical Science Co., Ltd. (35 patents, rank #9,147) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.0/100 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 15 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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. The Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd.'s 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
