What this shows Sekonix's Innovation Score is 34.3/100 (47th 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 Sekonix?

Each dot is one of Sekonix’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). Sekonix’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sekonix's grants concentrate

Sekonix Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 94.7% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sekonix sits between Schattdecor AG and Serac Group.

Sekonix's three-year grant acceleration

Sekonix Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
