What this shows Okamoto's Innovation Score is 26.6/100 (21st 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 Okamoto?

Each dot is one of Okamoto’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). Okamoto’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Okamoto's grants concentrate

Okamoto Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 38.9% of grants classified under D04B (Knitting). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Okamoto sits between Novasentis, Inc. and Ours Technology, LLC.

Okamoto's three-year grant acceleration

Okamoto Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
