Portfolio overview

Yageo Corporation has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Yageo Corporation at rank #19,362 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01C (RESISTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Yageo Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yageo sits between Xiamen Forbetter Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd (15 patents, rank #19,358) and Youtec Co., Ltd. (15 patents, rank #19,366) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.9/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 11 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +175% 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. Yageo Corporation's 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yageo 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.
