What this shows Gree's Innovation Score is 66.6/100 (top 1% 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 Gree?
Each dot is one of Gree’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). Gree’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
How Gree's grant cadence moved
Grant history spans 2020–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 30 grants and bottomed in 2020 at 3. Lead class F24F accounts for 27.1% of the portfolio across 59 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Flexenable Limited (#5,759) and Harting Electronics GmbH (#5,767).
Gree's three-year grant acceleration
Gree Electric Appliances (WUHAN) Co., Ltd shows 43 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
