What this shows Johnson's Innovation Score is 49.9/100 (top 14% 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 Johnson?

Each dot is one of Johnson’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). Johnson’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Johnson's grants concentrate

Johnson Controls AIR Conditioning AND Refrigeration (WUXI) Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Johnson sits between Jianghan University and Juhaokan Technology Co., Ltd..

Johnson's three-year grant acceleration

Johnson Controls AIR Conditioning AND Refrigeration (WUXI) Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
