Portfolio overview

TNP Corporation has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing TNP Corporation at rank #33,557 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F41H (ARMOUR; ARMOURED TURRETS; ARMOURED OR ARMED VEHICLES; MEANS OF ATTACK OR DEFENCE, e.g. CAMOUFLAGE, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, TNP Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TNP sits between TILL Gmbh (8 patents, rank #33,553) and Tokyo Metropolitan Public University Corporation (8 patents, rank #33,561) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.5/100 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 1 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -86% 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. TNP Corporation's 6.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TNP Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
