What this shows 9172-9863's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 22% 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 9172-9863?

Each dot is one of 9172-9863’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). 9172-9863’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 9172-9863's grants concentrate

9172-9863 Quebec Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, 9172-9863 sits between 4activeSystems GmbH and AB Science.

9172-9863's three-year grant acceleration

9172-9863 Quebec Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
