What this shows Macauto's Innovation Score is 30.3/100 (34th 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 Macauto?

Each dot is one of Macauto’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). Macauto’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Macauto's grants concentrate

Macauto Industrial Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 57.7% of grants classified under B60J (Windows, Windscreens, Non-fixed Roofs, Doors, OR Similar Devices FOR VEHICLES; Removable External Protective Coverings Specially Adapted FOR Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Macauto sits between Lenze Automation GmbH and Millennial Media LLC.

Macauto's three-year grant acceleration

Macauto Industrial Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
