Portfolio overview

Toyobo MC Corporation has been granted 36 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing Toyobo MC Corporation at rank #8,937 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 C08L (COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Toyobo MC Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Toyobo sits between Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (36 patents, rank #8,933) and Targus International Llc (36 patents, rank #8,941) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.2/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 36 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Toyobo MC Corporation'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 Toyobo MC Corporation 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.
