What this shows Aqua's Innovation Score is 30.2/100 (33rd 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 Aqua?

Each dot is one of Aqua’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). Aqua’s own 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aqua's grants concentrate

Aqua Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 65.4% of grants classified under D06F (Laundering, Drying, Ironing, Pressing OR Folding Textile Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Aqua sits between Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Astrium SAS.

Aqua's three-year grant acceleration

Aqua Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
