What this shows B-o-f's Innovation Score is 26.7/100 (21st 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 B-o-f?

Each dot is one of B-o-f’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). B-o-f’s own 1.9 claims/patent is at or below the 11.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where B-o-f's grants concentrate

B-O-F Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 5% of grants classified under A47F (Special Furniture, Fittings, OR Accessories FOR Shops, Storehouses, Bars, Restaurants OR THE LIKE; Paying Counters). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, B-o-f sits between Audience Partners LLC and BGC Partners, L.P..

B-o-f's three-year grant acceleration

B-O-F Corporation shows 9 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.
