factor.explanation
Claims are the core legal elements that define the scope of patent protection in invention patent applications, and directly determine the scope of patent protection and value. The more claims, the wider the patent's technical coverage, the more restrictions on competitors, and thus the higher commercial value. This factor aims to quantify the quality and breadth of a company's patent portfolio by calculating the average number of claims of newly disclosed patents in the past five years, reflecting the company's innovation input and output capabilities, as well as its competitiveness in intellectual property. This factor can help determine a company's technological innovation strength and potential competitive advantages.
