What this shows Jinko's Innovation Score is 60.2/100 (top 3% 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 Jinko?

Each dot is one of Jinko’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). Jinko’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Jinko's grants concentrate

Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 81.6% of grants classified under H10F (Inorganic Semiconductor Devices Sensitive TO Infrared Radiation, Light, Electromagnetic Radiation OF Shorter Wavelength OR Corpuscular Radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (36 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Jinko sits between Delta T, LLC and Point Engineering Co., Ltd..

Jinko's three-year grant acceleration

Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. shows 60 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
