What this shows Inktec's Innovation Score is 39.4/100 (top 38% 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 Inktec?

Each dot is one of Inktec’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). Inktec’s own 12.9 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 Inktec's grants concentrate

InkTec Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 48.4% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Inktec sits between Innerworkings, Inc. and J.D. Franco & Co., LLC.

Inktec's three-year grant acceleration

InkTec Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
