What this shows Asta's Innovation Score is 26.2/100 (19th 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 Asta?

Each dot is one of Asta’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). Asta’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Asta's grants concentrate

Asta, Co. Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Asta sits between ASM Assembly Systems GMBH & Co. KG and ATC Transportation LLC.

Asta's three-year grant acceleration

Asta, Co. Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
