Portfolio overview

YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD. has been granted 235 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD. at rank #1,739 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65D (CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR F). As a Foreign Corporation, YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.9/100 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 130 grants, compared with 105 in the 2015–2019 window — a +24% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD.'s 7.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
