What this shows Yamamoto's Innovation Score is 28.9/100 (29th 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 Yamamoto?

Each dot is one of Yamamoto’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). Yamamoto’s own 8.5 claims/patent is at or below the 11.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Yamamoto's grants concentrate

Yamamoto Chemicals, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under C09B (Organic Dyes OR Closely-related Compounds FOR Producing Dyes ; , e.g. PIGMENTS; MORDANTS; Lakes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Yamamoto sits between Xiber, LLC and Yfc-boneagle Electric Co., Ltd..

Yamamoto's three-year grant acceleration

Yamamoto Chemicals, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
