Portfolio overview

TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION at rank #11,098 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C30B (SINGLE-CRYSTAL GROWTH ; UNIDIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION OF EUTECTIC MATERIAL OR UNIDIRECTIONAL DEMIXING OF EUTECTOID MATERIAL; REFINING BY ZONE-MELTING OF MATERIAL ; PRODUCTION OF A HOMOGENEOUS POLYCRYS). As a Foreign Corporation, TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 57.6/100 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 26 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1200% 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. TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION's 12.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Toyota's 28 grants land it in the top 5% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Toyota ranks #11,098 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in C30B - see who else leads that technology area. C30B 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.
