What this shows Ushio's Innovation Score is 45.5/100 (top 23% 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 Ushio?

Each dot is one of Ushio’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). Ushio’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ushio's grants concentrate

Ushio Chemix Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under C10M (Lubricating Compositions ; USE OF Chemical Substances Either Alone OR AS Lubricating Ingredients IN A Lubricating Composition). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Ushio sits between Uro-1, Inc. and Ubisense Limited.

Ushio's three-year grant acceleration

Ushio Chemix Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
