What this shows MEC's Innovation Score is 38.3/100 (top 41% 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 MEC?

Each dot is one of MEC’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). MEC’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where MEC's grants concentrate

MEC Company Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 61.1% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, MEC sits between Magma Global Limited and Mercury Enterprises, Inc..

MEC's three-year grant acceleration

MEC Company Ltd. shows 6 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.
