What this shows Chery's Innovation Score is 29.5/100 (31st 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 Chery?

Each dot is one of Chery’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). Chery’s own 7.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Chery's grants concentrate

Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 18.2% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Chery sits between Chemical AND Metal Technologies LLC and Cimcon Lighting, Inc..

Chery's three-year grant acceleration

Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
