What this shows Curt's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 21% 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 Curt?

Each dot is one of Curt’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). Curt’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Curt's grants concentrate

Curt Manufacturing, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 45.2% of grants classified under B60D (Vehicle Connections). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Curt sits between Cold Chain Technologies, LLC and Celestial AI Inc..

Curt's three-year grant acceleration

Curt Manufacturing, LLC shows 10 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.
