What this shows Honda's Innovation Score is 27.9/100 (25th percentile 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 6.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Honda's grants concentrate

Honda Lock Mfg. Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B60K (Arrangement OR Mounting OF Propulsion Units OR OF Transmissions IN VEHICLES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Plural Diverse Prime-movers IN VEHICLES; Auxiliary Drives FOR VEHICLES; Instrumentation OR Dashb). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Honda sits between Holt Sales and Service, LLC and Horizon (Shanghai) Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd..

Honda's three-year grant acceleration

Honda Lock Mfg. Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
