What this shows Aisin's Innovation Score is 37.5/100 (top 43% 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 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aisin's grants concentrate

Aisin Kako Kabushiki Kaisha is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Aisin sits between Agenebio, Inc. and ALD Group Limited.

Aisin's three-year grant acceleration

Aisin Kako Kabushiki Kaisha shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
