What this shows Anko's Innovation Score is 22.7/100 (11th 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 Anko?

Each dot is one of Anko’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). Anko’s own 6.7 claims/patent is at or below the 10.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Anko's grants concentrate

Anko Food Machine Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A21C (Machines OR Equipment FOR Making OR Processing DOUGHS; Handling Baked Articles Made From Dough). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Anko sits between Anho Houseware Co., Ltd. Jiangmen and ANSeeN Inc..

Anko's three-year grant acceleration

Anko Food Machine Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
