What this shows Climax's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 Climax?

Each dot is one of Climax’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). Climax’s own 17.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Climax's grants concentrate

Climax Portable Machine Tools, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under B23Q (Details, Components, OR Accessories FOR Machine Tools, e.g. Arrangements FOR Copying OR Controlling ; Machine Tools IN General Characterised BY THE Construction OF Particular Details OR COMPONENTS; Co). By volume, Climax sits between ClearVector, Inc. and CloudShield Technologies, Inc..

Climax's three-year grant acceleration

Climax Portable Machine Tools, Inc. shows 3 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.
