What this shows U-shin's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 U-shin?

Each dot is one of U-shin’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). U-shin’s own 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where U-shin's grants concentrate

U-shin France is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, U-shin sits between Turingsense Inc. and Ulma Packaging, S. Coop.

U-shin's three-year grant acceleration

U-shin France shows 6 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.
