Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mitsubishi?
Each dot is one of Mitsubishi’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). Mitsubishi’s own 7.9 claims/patent is at or below the 8.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Mitsubishi's grants concentrate
Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 52.4% of grants classified under F16J (Pistons ; CYLINDERS; Sealings). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Mitsubishi sits between Mastrad, S.A. and MP Global Products, L.L.C..
Mitsubishi's three-year grant acceleration
Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. shows 4 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.
