What this shows Komatsu'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 Komatsu?

Each dot is one of Komatsu’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). Komatsu’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Komatsu's grants concentrate

Komatsu Forest AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Komatsu sits between Kancera AB and Kostal of America, Inc..

Komatsu's three-year grant acceleration

Komatsu Forest AB shows 6 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.
