What this shows Fairway's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 Fairway?

Each dot is one of Fairway’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). Fairway’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fairway's grants concentrate

Fairway Electronic Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 14.3% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Fairway sits between Facet Labs, LLC and Fast SIC Semiconductor Incorporated.

Fairway's three-year grant acceleration

Fairway Electronic Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
