What this shows Rheon's Innovation Score is 28.1/100 (26th 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 Rheon?

Each dot is one of Rheon’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). Rheon’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Rheon's grants concentrate

Rheon Automatic Machinery Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A21C (Machines OR Equipment FOR Making OR Processing DOUGHS; Handling Baked Articles Made From Dough). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Rheon sits between RedCritter Corp. and RoundhouseOne Inc..

Rheon's three-year grant acceleration

Rheon Automatic Machinery Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
