What this shows Ming's Innovation Score is 55.6/100 (top 7% 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 Ming?

Each dot is one of Ming’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). Ming’s own 9.0 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 Ming's grants concentrate

Ming CHI University OF Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 17.4% of grants classified under H05H (Plasma Technique ; Production OF Accelerated Electrically-charged Particles OR OF NEUTRONS; Production OR Acceleration OF Neutral Molecular OR Atomic Beams). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Ming sits between Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and Maclean-Fogg Company.

Ming's three-year grant acceleration

Ming CHI University OF Technology shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
