What this shows Jtekt's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 32% 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 Jtekt?

Each dot is one of Jtekt’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). Jtekt’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 13.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Jtekt's grants concentrate

Jtekt Bearings North America LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F16C (SHAFTS; Flexible SHAFTS; Elements OR Crankshaft MECHANISMS; Rotary Bodies Other Than Gearing ELEMENTS; Bearings). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Jtekt sits between Joong Chenn Industry Co., Ltd. and Jwin Electronics Corporation.

Jtekt's three-year grant acceleration

Jtekt Bearings North America LLC shows 3 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.
