What this shows Consolidated's Innovation Score is 27.5/100 (24th 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 Consolidated?

Each dot is one of Consolidated’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). Consolidated’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 5.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Consolidated's grants concentrate

Consolidated Engineering Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C21D (Modifying THE Physical Structure OF Ferrous METALS; General Devices FOR Heat Treatment OF Ferrous OR Non-ferrous Metals OR ALLOYS; Making Metal Malleable, e.g. BY Decarburisation OR Tempering). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Consolidated sits between Confluent Medical Technologies, Inc. and Container Graphics Corporation.

Consolidated's three-year grant acceleration

Consolidated Engineering Company, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
