What this shows Yaskawa's Innovation Score is 47.5/100 (top 19% 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 Yaskawa?

Each dot is one of Yaskawa’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). Yaskawa’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Yaskawa's grants concentrate

Yaskawa America, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 30.8% of grants classified under H02P (Control OR Regulation OF Electric Motors, Electric Generators OR Dynamo-electric CONVERTERS; Controlling Transformers, Reactors OR Choke Coils). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Yaskawa sits between Xuanzhu Pharma Co., Ltd. and Zerotech (SHENZHEN) Intelligence Robot Co., Ltd..

Yaskawa's three-year grant acceleration

Yaskawa America, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
