What this shows Exacto's Innovation Score is 42.9/100 (top 29% 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 Exacto?

Each dot is one of Exacto’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). Exacto’s own 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Exacto's grants concentrate

Exacto, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Exacto sits between Eurotherm Limited and Exten Technologies, Inc..

Exacto's three-year grant acceleration

Exacto, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
