What this shows Yonex's Innovation Score is 18.2/100 (5th 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 Yonex?

Each dot is one of Yonex’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). Yonex’s own 6.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Yonex's grants concentrate

Yonex Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Yonex sits between Yamo Pharmaceuticals LLC and Yunnan Huapu Quantum Material Co., Ltd.

Yonex's three-year grant acceleration

Yonex Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
