What this shows Ezaki's Innovation Score is 35.1/100 (top 50% 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 Ezaki?

Each dot is one of Ezaki’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). Ezaki’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ezaki's grants concentrate

Ezaki Glico Co. Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ezaki sits between Everbridge, Inc. and Fibertex Personal Care A/S.

Ezaki's three-year grant acceleration

Ezaki Glico Co. Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
