What this shows Bray's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 Bray?

Each dot is one of Bray’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). Bray’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 19.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bray's grants concentrate

Bray International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Bray sits between Booktrack Holdings Limited and Buddy Box, LLC.

Bray's three-year grant acceleration

Bray International, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
