What this shows Yamada's Innovation Score is 38.0/100 (top 42% 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 Yamada?

Each dot is one of Yamada’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). Yamada’s own 3.6 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Yamada's grants concentrate

Yamada Co., Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 22.2% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Yamada sits between Xpedite Systems, LLC and Yoox Net-a-porter Group SPA.

Yamada's three-year grant acceleration

Yamada Co., Ltd 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.
