Portfolio overview

Tianma Japan, Ltd. has been granted 105 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Tianma Japan, Ltd. at rank #3,513 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 35 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G09G (ARRANGEMENTS OR CIRCUITS FOR CONTROL OF INDICATING DEVICES USING STATIC MEANS TO PRESENT VARIABLE INFORMATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Tianma Japan, Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tianma sits between Radware Ltd. (105 patents, rank #3,509) and Varex Imaging Corporation (105 patents, rank #3,517) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.2/100 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 88 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a +418% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Tianma Japan, Ltd.'s 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 35 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tianma Japan, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
