What this shows Central's Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 Central?

Each dot is one of Central’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). Central’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Central's grants concentrate

Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B60B (Vehicle Wheels ; CASTORS; Axles FOR Wheels OR CASTORS; Increasing Wheel Adhesion). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Central sits between Camurus AB and Co2pac Limited.

Central's three-year grant acceleration

Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd. shows 7 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.
