The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows China's Innovation Score is 42.3/100 (top 31% 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 8.9 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 China's grants concentrate
China Flash Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under G11C (Static Stores). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, China sits between Centre FOR Development OF Telematics and CHS, Inc..
China's three-year grant acceleration
China Flash Co., Ltd. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
