What this shows Canon's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 Canon?

Each dot is one of Canon’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). Canon’s own 13.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Canon's grants concentrate

Canon Components, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 73.9% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Canon sits between Bradshaw International, Inc. and Cytec Technology Corp..

Canon's three-year grant acceleration

Canon Components, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
