What this shows Con-tech's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Con-tech?

Each dot is one of Con-tech’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). Con-tech’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Con-tech's grants concentrate

Con-Tech Manufacturing, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 47.4% of grants classified under B65F (Gathering OR Removal OF Domestic OR Like Refuse). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Con-tech sits between Circa Scientific, Inc. and Creative Manufacturing, LLC.

Con-tech's three-year grant acceleration

Con-Tech Manufacturing, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
