What this shows Sega's Innovation Score is 25.4/100 (17th 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 Sega?

Each dot is one of Sega’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). Sega’s own 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sega's grants concentrate

Sega Sammy Creation Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under G07F (Coin-freed OR Like Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Sega sits between Sanvean Technologies LLC and Shanghai Haiyan Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd..

Sega's three-year grant acceleration

Sega Sammy Creation Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
