What this shows Honda's Innovation Score is 48.7/100 (top 16% 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 Honda?

Each dot is one of Honda’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). Honda’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Honda's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Honda Access Corp. received 25 grants versus 37 in 2015–2019 (-32% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 13 grants and bottomed in 2022 at 2. Lead class B60R accounts for 35.9% of the portfolio across 53 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Ferro Corporation (#5,360) and Infoblox Inc. (#5,368).

Honda's three-year grant acceleration

Honda Access Corp. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
