What this shows Silhouette's Innovation Score is 28.1/100 (26th 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 Silhouette?

Each dot is one of Silhouette’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). Silhouette’s own 5.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Silhouette's grants concentrate

Silhouette Japan Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). By volume, Silhouette sits between Sigelock Systems, LLC and Simex Inc..

Silhouette's three-year grant acceleration

Silhouette Japan Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
