What this shows China's Innovation Score is 34.5/100 (48th 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 China?
Each dot is one of China’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). China’s own 8.6 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 China's grants concentrate
China Academy OF Railway Sciences Corporation Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under E01B (Permanent WAY; Permanent-way TOOLS; Machines FOR Making Railways OF ALL Kinds). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, China sits between Chemo Research, S.L. and Clearcare, Inc..
China's three-year grant acceleration
China Academy OF Railway Sciences Corporation Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
