What this shows Nissin's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 Nissin?

Each dot is one of Nissin’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). Nissin’s own 15.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Nissin's grants concentrate

Nissin ION Equipment Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 73.3% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2015. By volume, Nissin sits between Moogsoft Inc. and Oneplus Technology (SHENZHEN) Co., Ltd..

Nissin's three-year grant acceleration

Nissin ION Equipment Co., Ltd. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
