What this shows C.r.'s Innovation Score is 38.4/100 (top 41% 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 C.r.?

Each dot is one of C.r.’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). C.r.’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where C.r.'s grants concentrate

C.R. Laurence Co., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, C.r. sits between Brian's Botanicals and Celloptic, Inc..

C.r.'s three-year grant acceleration

C.R. Laurence Co., Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
