Portfolio overview
Tokiwa Corporation has been granted 72 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Tokiwa Corporation at rank #4,848 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45D (HAIRDRESSING OR SHAVING EQUIPMENT ; EQUIPMENT FOR COSMETICS OR COSMETIC TREATMENTS, e.g. FOR MANICURING OR PEDICURING). As a Foreign Corporation, Tokiwa Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tokiwa sits between Sococo, Llc (72 patents, rank #4,844) and Vehicle Energy Japan Inc. (72 patents, rank #4,852) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.0/100 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 27 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% 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. Tokiwa Corporation's 7.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tokiwa Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tokiwa's 72 grants land it in the top 45% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

- Most of this portfolio concentrates in A45D - see who else leads that technology area. A45D leaders
- 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.
