Portfolio overview

Tohnichi Mfg.co., Ltd. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Tohnichi Mfg.co., Ltd. at rank #25,357 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25B (TOOLS OR BENCH DEVICES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, FOR FASTENING, CONNECTING, DISENGAGING OR HOLDING). As a Foreign Corporation, Tohnichi Mfg.co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tohnichi sits between THE Vitec Group Plc (11 patents, rank #25,353) and Traffic Technology Services, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,361) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.0/100 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 7 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Tohnichi Mfg.co., Ltd.'s 7.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tohnichi Mfg.co., 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.
