What this shows Connecticut's Innovation Score is 25.9/100 (19th percentile 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 Connecticut?

Each dot is one of Connecticut’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). Connecticut’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Connecticut's grants concentrate

Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F41C (Smallarms, e.g. Pistols, Rifles ; Accessories Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Connecticut sits between ConeCraft, Inc. and Consumerlnfo.com, Inc..

Connecticut's three-year grant acceleration

Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
