What this shows Expro's Innovation Score is 39.6/100 (top 38% 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 Expro?

Each dot is one of Expro’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). Expro’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Expro's grants concentrate

Expro Meters, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G01F (Measuring Volume, Volume Flow, Mass Flow OR Liquid LEVEL; Metering BY Volume). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Expro sits between Evoqua Water Technologies Pte. Ltd. and FB Global Plumbing Group LLC.

Expro's three-year grant acceleration

Expro Meters, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
