What this shows Kojima's Innovation Score is 44.6/100 (top 25% 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 Kojima?
Each dot is one of Kojima’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). Kojima’s own 7.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
How Kojima's grant cadence moved
Between 2020–2024, Kojima Industries Corporation received 14 grants versus 25 in 2015–2019 (-44% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 8 grants and bottomed in 2023 at 1. Lead class B60R accounts for 42.5% of the portfolio across 60 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Keihin Thermal Technology Corporation (#8,060) and Mcwane, Inc. (#8,068).
Kojima's three-year grant acceleration
Kojima Industries Corporation shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
