What this shows Magellan's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (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 Magellan?

Each dot is one of Magellan’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). Magellan’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Magellan's grants concentrate

Magellan Systems Japan, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Magellan sits between MaaT Pharma and Magtera, Inc..

Magellan's three-year grant acceleration

Magellan Systems Japan, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
