What this shows Suminoe's Innovation Score is 28.5/100 (27th 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 Suminoe?

Each dot is one of Suminoe’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). Suminoe’s own 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Suminoe's grants concentrate

Suminoe Textile Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under D06M (Treatment, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere IN Class D06, OF Fibres, Threads, Yarns, Fabrics, Feathers OR Fibrous Goods Made From Such Materials). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Suminoe sits between Suboti, LLC and Sunfield Semiconductor, Inc..

Suminoe's three-year grant acceleration

Suminoe Textile Co., Ltd. shows 1 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.
