What this shows Fukuoka's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Fukuoka?

Each dot is one of Fukuoka’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). Fukuoka’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fukuoka's grants concentrate

Fukuoka Institute of Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under Y02P (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies IN THE Production OR Processing OF Goods). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Fukuoka sits between Fujian JXD Technology Co., Ltd. and Funkitron, Inc..

Fukuoka's three-year grant acceleration

Fukuoka Institute of Technology shows 4 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.
