Does more volume mean deeper claims for ITO?
Each dot is one of ITO’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). ITO’s own 4.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where ITO's grants concentrate
ITO Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, ITO sits between Isize Limited and ITW Limited.
ITO's three-year grant acceleration
ITO Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
