What this shows Carling's Innovation Score is 42.1/100 (top 31% 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 Carling?

Each dot is one of Carling’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). Carling’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Carling's grants concentrate

Carling Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 93.6% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Carling sits between Brp-rotax GMBH & Co. KG and Delta Electronics Int'l (Singapore) Pte Ltd.

Carling's three-year grant acceleration

Carling Technologies, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
