What this shows Kohler's Innovation Score is 32.0/100 (40th 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 Kohler?

Each dot is one of Kohler’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). Kohler’s own 9.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kohler's grants concentrate

Kohler India Corporation Private Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under E03D (Water-closets OR Urinals With Flushing DEVICES; Flushing Valves Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Kohler sits between Kneron (Taiwan) Co., Ltd. and Kratos LLC.

Kohler's three-year grant acceleration

Kohler India Corporation Private Limited shows 2 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.
