What this shows Mico's Innovation Score is 47.2/100 (top 19% 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 Mico?
Each dot is one of Mico’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). Mico’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Mico's grants concentrate
MiCo Ceramics Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Mico sits between McGard LLC and Monteris Medical Corporation.
Mico's three-year grant acceleration
MiCo Ceramics Ltd. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
