What this shows CAR's Innovation Score is 23.9/100 (13th 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 CAR?
Each dot is one of CAR’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). CAR’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where CAR's grants concentrate
CAR Mate MFG. Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 26.7% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, CAR sits between Brock University and Carux Technology PTE. Ltd..
CAR's three-year grant acceleration
CAR Mate MFG. Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
