Does more volume mean deeper claims for Toyo?
Each dot is one of Toyo’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). Toyo’s own 8.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Toyo's grants concentrate
Toyo Automation Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 35.3% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Toyo sits between TKR Spezialwerkzeuge GMBH and Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc..
Toyo's three-year grant acceleration
Toyo Automation Co., Ltd. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
