What this shows Brunson's Innovation Score is 36.1/100 (top 47% 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 Brunson?

Each dot is one of Brunson’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). Brunson’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Brunson's grants concentrate

Brunson Instrument Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 43.8% of grants classified under F16M (Frames, Casings OR Beds OF Engines, Machines OR Apparatus, NOT Specific TO Engines, Machines OR Apparatus Provided FOR ELSEWHERE; STANDS; Supports). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Brunson sits between Bowtech, LLC and Butler Engineering AND Marketing S.P.A..

Brunson's three-year grant acceleration

Brunson Instrument Company shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
