What this shows General's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th 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 General?

Each dot is one of General’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). General’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where General's grants concentrate

General Packer Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, General sits between GEA Food Solutions Weert B.V. and Georgetown Rail Equipment Company.

General's three-year grant acceleration

General Packer Co., Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
