What this shows Koganei's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (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 Koganei?

Each dot is one of Koganei’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). Koganei’s own 7.1 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Koganei's grants concentrate

Koganei Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Koganei sits between Innovation First, Inc. and Lyondell Chemical Technology, L.P..

Koganei's three-year grant acceleration

Koganei Corporation shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
