What this shows Japan's Innovation Score is 29.0/100 (29th 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 Japan?

Each dot is one of Japan’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). Japan’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Japan's grants concentrate

Japan Matex Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under D10B (Indexing Scheme Associated With Sublasses OF Section D, Relating TO Textiles). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Japan sits between Jackson Design & Remodeling, Inc. and JBT Food & Dairy Systems B.V..

Japan's three-year grant acceleration

Japan Matex Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
