What this shows Drive's Innovation Score is 23.9/100 (13th 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 Drive?

Each dot is one of Drive’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). Drive’s own 6.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Drive's grants concentrate

Drive Foods Corp is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Drive sits between Drake Water Technologies, Inc. and Durex International Corp..

Drive's three-year grant acceleration

Drive Foods Corp 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.
