What this shows Meiko's Innovation Score is 28.5/100 (28th 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 Meiko?

Each dot is one of Meiko’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). Meiko’s own 7.7 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Meiko's grants concentrate

Meiko Electronics Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 78.9% 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 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Meiko sits between Maquet SAS and Miragen Therapeutics, Inc..

Meiko's three-year grant acceleration

Meiko Electronics Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
