What this shows Merits's Innovation Score is 25.3/100 (17th 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 Merits?

Each dot is one of Merits’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). Merits’s own 5.8 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Merits's grants concentrate

Merits Health Products Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A61G (Transport, Personal Conveyances, OR Accommodation Specially Adapted FOR Patients OR Disabled Persons ; Operating Tables OR CHAIRS; Chairs FOR DENTISTRY; Funeral Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Merits sits between Melfas Inc. and Miki Pulley Co., Ltd..

Merits's three-year grant acceleration

Merits Health Products Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
