What this shows Kose's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 Kose?

Each dot is one of Kose’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). Kose’s own 4.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kose's grants concentrate

Kose Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under A61Q (Specific USE OF Cosmetics OR Similar Toiletry Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kose sits between Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited and Limacorporate S P.A..

Kose's three-year grant acceleration

Kose Corporation shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
