What this shows Canyon's Innovation Score is 21.6/100 (9th 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 Canyon?

Each dot is one of Canyon’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). Canyon’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Canyon's grants concentrate

Canyon Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Canyon sits between Bruker Technologies Ltd. and Cassia Networks Inc..

Canyon's three-year grant acceleration

Canyon Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
