What this shows Yageo's Innovation Score is 36.9/100 (top 45% 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.

Where Yageo's grants concentrate

Yageo Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under H01C (Resistors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Yageo sits between Xiamen Forbetter Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd and Youtec Co., Ltd..

Yageo's three-year grant acceleration

Yageo Corporation 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.
