The verdict
Yokogawa holds 6 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #44,171 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Yokogawa Saudi Arabia Company has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Yokogawa Saudi Arabia Company at rank #44,171 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G05B (CONTROL OR REGULATING SYSTEMS IN GENERAL; FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS OF SUCH SYSTEMS; MONITORING OR TESTING ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUCH SYSTEMS OR ELEMENTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Yokogawa Saudi Arabia Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yokogawa sits between Yardbird Outside, Llc (6 patents, rank #44,167) and Yushiro Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (6 patents, rank #44,175) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.1/100 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 4 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Yokogawa Saudi Arabia Company's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yokogawa Saudi Arabia Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Yokogawa's 6 grants land it in the top 22% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
