What this shows Compx's Innovation Score is 37.7/100 (top 43% 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 Compx?

Each dot is one of Compx’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). Compx’s own 32.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Compx's grants concentrate

CompX International Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G07C (Time OR Attendance REGISTERS; Registering OR Indicating THE Working OF MACHINES; Generating Random NUMBERS; Voting OR Lottery APPARATUS; Arrangements, Systems OR Apparatus FOR Checking NOT Provided FO). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Compx sits between ColdBore Technology Inc. and Confluence Life Sciences, Inc..

Compx's three-year grant acceleration

CompX International Inc. shows 2 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.
