What this shows Throughtek's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 Throughtek?

Each dot is one of Throughtek’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). Throughtek’s own 15.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Throughtek's grants concentrate

Throughtek Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 86.4% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Throughtek sits between TEL Epion Inc. and Tokai Chemical Industries, Ltd..

Throughtek's three-year grant acceleration

Throughtek Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
