Portfolio overview

Toray Plastics (america), Inc. has been granted 88 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Toray Plastics (america), Inc. at rank #4,102 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM). As a US Corporation, Toray Plastics (america), Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Toray sits between Qatar Foundation FOR Education, Science AND Community Development (88 patents, rank #4,098) and BIC Violex Single Member S.a. (87 patents, rank #4,106) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 30 grants, compared with 58 in the 2015–2019 window, a -48% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. Toray Plastics (america), Inc.'s 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Toray Plastics (america), Inc. 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.
