What this shows Emerson's Innovation Score is 32.2/100 (40th 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 Emerson?

Each dot is one of Emerson’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). Emerson’s own 17.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Emerson's grants concentrate

Emerson Vulcan Holding LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 84.2% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Emerson sits between Edison Welding Institute, Inc. and Epic Lift Systems.

Emerson's three-year grant acceleration

Emerson Vulcan Holding LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
