What this shows China's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 10.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where China's grants concentrate

China Tobacco Guangdong Industrial Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under A24D (CIGARS; CIGARETTES; Tobacco Smoke FILTERS; Mouthpieces FOR Cigars OR CIGARETTES; Manufacture OF Tobacco Smoke Filters OR Mouthpieces). By volume, China sits between China Construction Science AND Industry Corporation Ltd and Chongqing Fengrui Plastic Co., Ltd..

China's three-year grant acceleration

China Tobacco Guangdong Industrial Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
