Portfolio overview
VEHICLE ENERGY JAPAN INC. has been granted 72 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing VEHICLE ENERGY JAPAN INC. at rank #4,852 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, VEHICLE ENERGY JAPAN INC. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 48.9/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 72 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. VEHICLE ENERGY JAPAN INC.'s 8.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VEHICLE ENERGY JAPAN INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
