What this shows Essence's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 Essence?

Each dot is one of Essence’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). Essence’s own 12.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Essence's grants concentrate

Essence Method Refine Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F16B (Devices FOR Fastening OR Securing Constructional Elements OR Machine Parts Together, e.g. Nails, Bolts, Circlips, Clamps, Clips OR WEDGES; Joints OR Jointing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Essence sits between Eris Innovations, LLC and Esteve Quimica S.A..

Essence's three-year grant acceleration

Essence Method Refine Co., Ltd. shows 3 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.
