What this shows Tohnichi's Innovation Score is 32.0/100 (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 Tohnichi?

Each dot is one of Tohnichi’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). Tohnichi’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tohnichi's grants concentrate

Tohnichi MFG.CO., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B25B (Tools OR Bench Devices NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, FOR Fastening, Connecting, Disengaging OR Holding). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Tohnichi sits between THE Vitec Group PLC and Traffic Technology Services, Inc..

Tohnichi's three-year grant acceleration

Tohnichi MFG.CO., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
