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.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Yageo?

Each dot is one of Yageo’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). Yageo’s own 10.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

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.
