What this shows Kyodo's Innovation Score is 39.5/100 (top 38% 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 Kyodo?

Each dot is one of Kyodo’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). Kyodo’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kyodo's grants concentrate

Kyodo Yushi Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 90.2% of grants classified under C10M (Lubricating Compositions ; USE OF Chemical Substances Either Alone OR AS Lubricating Ingredients IN A Lubricating Composition). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Kyodo sits between Infirst Healthcare Limited and Lantiq Deutschland GmbH.

Kyodo's three-year grant acceleration

Kyodo Yushi Co., Ltd. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
