What this shows Mutoh's Innovation Score is 26.2/100 (19th 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 Mutoh?

Each dot is one of Mutoh’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). Mutoh’s own 7.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mutoh's grants concentrate

Mutoh Industries Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). By volume, Mutoh sits between MTI Wireless Edge Ltd. and My-semi Inc..

Mutoh's three-year grant acceleration

Mutoh Industries Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
