What this shows Earthstone's Innovation Score is 41.6/100 (top 33% 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 Earthstone?

Each dot is one of Earthstone’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). Earthstone’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Earthstone's grants concentrate

Earthstone International LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under C04B (Lime, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; Compositions Thereof, e.g. Mortars, Concrete OR Like Building MATERIALS; Artificial Stone ; Ceramics ; REFRACTORIES; Treatment OF Natural Stone). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Earthstone sits between Eyeway Vision Ltd. and Echo Ridge, LLC.

Earthstone's three-year grant acceleration

Earthstone International LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
