What this shows Frost's Innovation Score is 37.0/100 (top 45% 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 Frost?

Each dot is one of Frost’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). Frost’s own 3.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Frost's grants concentrate

Frost Buddy LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 18.8% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (9 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2023. By volume, Frost sits between Fluid Automation Systems S.A. and GEMÜ Gebr. Müller Apparatebau GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft.

Frost's three-year grant acceleration

Frost Buddy LLC shows 13 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.
