Portfolio overview

TOYO DENSO KABUSHIKI KAISHA has been granted 47 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TOYO DENSO KABUSHIKI KAISHA at rank #7,086 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, TOYO DENSO KABUSHIKI KAISHA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 36 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window — a +227% 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. TOYO DENSO KABUSHIKI KAISHA's 8.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TOYO DENSO KABUSHIKI KAISHA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
