What this shows Meijo's Innovation Score is 43.2/100 (top 29% 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 Meijo?

Each dot is one of Meijo’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). Meijo’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Meijo's grants concentrate

Meijo University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 30.8% of grants classified under H10H (Inorganic Light-emitting Semiconductor Devices Having Potential Barriers). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Meijo sits between Latency, LLC and Mitsubishi Shindoh Co., Ltd..

Meijo's three-year grant acceleration

Meijo University shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
