What this shows Diodes's Innovation Score is 56.9/100 (top 6% 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 Diodes?

Each dot is one of Diodes’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). Diodes’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Diodes's grants concentrate

Diodes Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 39.3% of grants classified under H10D (Inorganic Electric Semiconductor Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Diodes sits between Columbia Sportswear North America, Inc. and GEA Farm Technologies GmbH.

Diodes's three-year grant acceleration

Diodes Incorporated shows 38 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
