What this shows Denso's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 36% 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 Denso?

Each dot is one of Denso’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). Denso’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 10.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Denso's grants concentrate

Denso Thermal Systems S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 68.2% of grants classified under B60H (Arrangements OF Heating, Cooling, Ventilating OR Other Air-treating Devices Specially Adapted FOR Passenger OR Goods Spaces OF Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Denso sits between Cryoport, Inc. and Dowa Holdings Co., Ltd..

Denso's three-year grant acceleration

Denso Thermal Systems S.P.A. shows 6 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.
