Portfolio overview

TOYO TIRE & Rubber Co., Ltd. has been granted 339 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing TOYO TIRE & Rubber Co., Ltd. at rank #1,249 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 58 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60C (VEHICLE TYRES; TYRE INFLATION; TYRE CHANGING; CONNECTING VALVES TO INFLATABLE ELASTIC BODIES IN GENERAL; DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS RELATED TO TYRES). As a Foreign Corporation, TOYO TIRE & Rubber Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TOYO sits between Sonova Ag (340 patents, rank #1,245) and Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (338 patents, rank #1,253) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.0/100 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 11 grants, compared with 328 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% 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. TOYO TIRE & Rubber Co., Ltd.'s 4.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 58 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TOYO TIRE & Rubber 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.
