What this shows Sharp's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% 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 Sharp?

Each dot is one of Sharp’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). Sharp’s own 20.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sharp's grants concentrate

Sharp Fluidics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Sharp sits between Semantic Technologies PTY Ltd and Shenzhen FLY Rodent Dynamics Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd..

Sharp's three-year grant acceleration

Sharp Fluidics Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
