What this shows Coors's Innovation Score is 25.4/100 (17th 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 Coors?

Each dot is one of Coors’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). Coors’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Coors's grants concentrate

Coors Brewing Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 9.1% of grants classified under A23B (Preservation OF Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic BEVERAGES; Chemical Ripening OF Fruit OR Vegetables). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Coors sits between Constru Ltd and Corob S.P.A..

Coors's three-year grant acceleration

Coors Brewing Company shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
