What this shows Aisin's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Aisin?

Each dot is one of Aisin’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Aisin’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Aisin's grants concentrate

Aisin AW Industries Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 79.2% of grants classified under F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; Means FOR Damping Vibration). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Aisin sits between Actron Technology Corporation and Amtab Manufacturing Corporation.

Aisin's three-year grant acceleration

Aisin AW Industries Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
