What this shows Energy's Innovation Score is 55.2/100 (top 7% 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 Energy?

Each dot is one of Energy’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). Energy’s own 16.3 claims/patent is at or below the 19.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Energy's grants concentrate

Energy, United States Department of is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under Y02C (Capture, Storage, Sequestration OR Disposal OF Greenhouse Gases [GHG]). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Energy sits between Empatica Srl and Enthone GmbH.

Energy's three-year grant acceleration

Energy, United States Department of shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
