What this shows Otico's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th 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 Otico?

Each dot is one of Otico’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). Otico’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Otico's grants concentrate

OTICO is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Otico sits between Opticis Co., Ltd. and Oasis Medical, Inc..

Otico's three-year grant acceleration

OTICO shows 3 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.
