What this shows Carnot's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Carnot?

Each dot is one of Carnot’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). Carnot’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Carnot's grants concentrate

Carnot Compression Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F05D (Indexing Scheme FOR Aspects Relating TO Non-positive-displacement Machines OR Engines, Gas-turbines OR Jet-propulsion Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carnot sits between Cardiodyme, Inc. and Castle Creations, Inc..

Carnot's three-year grant acceleration

Carnot Compression Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
