What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 53.5/100 (top 9% 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 Shanghai?

Each dot is one of Shanghai’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). Shanghai’s own 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shanghai's grants concentrate

Shanghai Hode Information Technology Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 48.1% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Shanghai sits between Sanden Automotive Climate Systems Corporation and Sofec, Inc..

Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghai Hode Information Technology Co., Ltd. shows 17 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.
