What this shows Badger's Innovation Score is 31.5/100 (38th 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 Badger?

Each dot is one of Badger’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). Badger’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Badger's grants concentrate

Badger Licensing LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 84.2% of grants classified under C07C (Acyclic OR Carbocyclic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Badger sits between Applied Molecular Transport Inc. and Bionlifescience, Inc..

Badger's three-year grant acceleration

Badger Licensing LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
