What this shows Teraoka's Innovation Score is 43.2/100 (top 29% 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 Teraoka?

Each dot is one of Teraoka’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). Teraoka’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Teraoka's grants concentrate

Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under G07G (Registering THE Receipt OF Cash, Valuables, OR Tokens). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Teraoka sits between Tempus AI, Inc. and The Crawford Group, Inc..

Teraoka's three-year grant acceleration

Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
