What this shows Bourns's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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 Bourns?

Each dot is one of Bourns’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). Bourns’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bourns's grants concentrate

Bourns KK is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Bourns sits between Bolder Biotechnology, Inc. and Bravilor Holding B.V..

Bourns's three-year grant acceleration

Bourns KK shows 7 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.
