What this shows Lotte's Innovation Score is 28.4/100 (27th percentile 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 Lotte?

Each dot is one of Lotte’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). Lotte’s own 7.3 claims/patent is at or below the 9.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lotte's grants concentrate

Lotte Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A23G (COCOA; Cocoa Products, e.g. CHOCOLATE; Substitutes FOR Cocoa OR Cocoa PRODUCTS; CONFECTIONERY; Chewing GUM; ICE-CREAM; Preparation Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Lotte sits between Locinox and Lange Uhren GmbH.

Lotte's three-year grant acceleration

Lotte Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
