Frequently Asked Questions

Canon holds 90 US patents with an average of 28 claims per patent. The portfolio has a Patent Strength Score of 52/100 (Grade C).

Canon has 3 patents expiring within 2 years and 9 patents expiring within 5 years. These expirations may create opportunities for competitors and generic entrants.

Canon's key technology focus areas include Photography & Electrography, Computing & Data Processing, Telecommunications. The portfolio spans 4 distinct technology classifications (CPC codes).

The Patent Strength Score (0-100, A-F) benchmarks a company's patent portfolio quality based on portfolio size (30%), claims breadth (25%), time remaining to expiration (25%), and portfolio diversity across technology areas (20%).

Last updated:

Patent Strength Score is based on portfolio size, claims breadth, time to expiration, and technology diversity using CPC classifications.

The this entity record above pulls directly from the FDA Orange Book and USPTO patent records. What follows is the per-entity context — how this entity sits in the broader U.S. pharmaceutical patent expirations distribution and which underlying factors drive the headline numbers.

The methodology behind every numeric value on this page is publicly documented on the the FDA Orange Book and USPTO patent records portal and described in detail on this site’s methodology page. Refresh cadence varies by underlying series; the page surfaces the as-of date for each number so readers can trace any figure back to the source release.

Practical use of this page is in combination with the comparison and ranking pages elsewhere on the site, which surface the same data for this entity’s peers within U.S. brand-name drugs. A single-entity reading without peer context can be misleading when an entity is an outlier on one axis but typical on another.
