What this shows JST's Innovation Score is 36.0/100 (top 48% 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 JST?

Each dot is one of JST’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). JST’s own 6.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where JST's grants concentrate

JST Performance, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 18.8% of grants classified under B60Q (Arrangement OF Signalling OR Lighting Devices, THE Mounting OR Supporting Thereof OR Circuits Therefor, FOR Vehicles IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (17 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, JST sits between Hyperconnect LLC and Litepoint Corporation.

JST's three-year grant acceleration

JST Performance, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
