How K.h.s.’s 20.6 Innovation Score adds up
The same four weighted components behind every Innovation Score on PlainPatent: portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth.

What this shows K.h.s.'s Innovation Score is 20.6/100 (7th percentile 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 K.h.s.?
Each dot is one of K.h.s.’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). K.h.s.’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where K.h.s.'s grants concentrate
K.H.S. Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under G10D (Stringed Musical INSTRUMENTS; Wind Musical INSTRUMENTS; Accordions OR CONCERTINAS; Percussion Musical INSTRUMENTS; Aeolian HARPS; Singing-flame Musical INSTRUMENTS; Musical Instruments NOT Otherwise P). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, K.h.s. sits between Jsyard Home Technology Co., Ltd and Kake Educational Institution.
K.h.s.'s three-year grant acceleration
K.H.S. Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
