What this shows Uchiya's Innovation Score is 29.4/100 (31st 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 Uchiya?

Each dot is one of Uchiya’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). Uchiya’s own 5.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Uchiya's grants concentrate

Uchiya Thermostat Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 94.4% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Uchiya sits between Translate Bio MA, Inc. and Universidad DE LOS Andes.

Uchiya's three-year grant acceleration

Uchiya Thermostat Co., Ltd. shows 4 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.
