What this shows Kelsey-hayes-company's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 Kelsey-hayes-company?

Each dot is one of Kelsey-hayes-company’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). Kelsey-hayes-company’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kelsey-hayes-company's grants concentrate

Kelsey-hayes-company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 45.3% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (13 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Kelsey-hayes-company sits between Itron Global Sarl and LMK Technologies, LLC.

Kelsey-hayes-company's three-year grant acceleration

Kelsey-hayes-company shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
