What this shows BOB's Innovation Score is 46.7/100 (top 20% 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 BOB?

Each dot is one of BOB’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). BOB’s own 7.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where BOB's grants concentrate

BOB Barker Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 7.1% of grants classified under A46B (Brushes). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, BOB sits between Blackboiler, Inc. and Briggo, Inc..

BOB's three-year grant acceleration

BOB Barker Company, Inc. shows 7 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.
