What this shows Koto's Innovation Score is 39.9/100 (top 37% 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 Koto?

Each dot is one of Koto’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). Koto’s own 13.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Koto's grants concentrate

Koto Holdings Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Koto sits between Korea East-west Power Co., Ltd. and KT Kyvik, LLC.

Koto's three-year grant acceleration

Koto Holdings Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
