What this shows Yamaha Motor Power Products Kabushiki Kaisha stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DOWN, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #15,066 of 50,000; Innovation Score 33.8/100 sits in the top 54% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Xiros Limited (±0 grants).
Yamaha Motor Power Products Kabushiki Kaisha has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Yamaha Motor Power Products Kabushiki Kaisha at #15,066 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62D (MOTOR VEHICLES; TRAILERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Yamaha Motor Power Products Kabushiki Kaisha is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yamaha sits between XJET Ltd. (20 patents, rank #15,055) and Zehnder Group International Ag (20 patents, rank #15,063) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 8 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Yamaha Motor Power Products Kabushiki Kaisha's 6.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 26 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
