What this shows Shanghai's Innovation Score is 63.9/100 (top 2% 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 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 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 Kohler Electronics, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 60.3% of grants classified under E03D (Water-closets OR Urinals With Flushing DEVICES; Flushing Valves Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (12 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Shanghai sits between Sugatsune Kogyo Co., Ltd. and Tracto-technik GmbH & Co., KG.

Shanghai's three-year grant acceleration

Shanghai Kohler Electronics, Ltd. shows 26 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
