What this shows Nihon's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Nihon?

Each dot is one of Nihon’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). Nihon’s own 9.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 5.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nihon's grants concentrate

Nihon Trim Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Nihon sits between NGI A/S and Nippon Conlux Co., Ltd..

Nihon's three-year grant acceleration

Nihon Trim Co., Ltd. shows 7 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.
