What this shows Bodyfriend's Innovation Score is 45.7/100 (top 23% 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 Bodyfriend?

Each dot is one of Bodyfriend’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). Bodyfriend’s own 10.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bodyfriend's grants concentrate

Bodyfriend Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61H (Physical Therapy Apparatus, e.g. Devices FOR Locating OR Stimulating Reflex Points IN THE BODY; Artificial RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; Bathing Devices FOR Special Therapeutic OR Hygienic Purposes OR Specifi). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Bodyfriend sits between Biotechnology Institute, I MAS D, S.L. and Borgwarner Torqtransfer Systems AB.

Bodyfriend's three-year grant acceleration

Bodyfriend Co., Ltd. shows 8 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.
