What this shows General's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 20.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where General's grants concentrate

General Vibration Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under B06B (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Generating OR Transmitting Mechanical Vibrations OF Infrasonic, Sonic, OR Ultrasonic Frequency, ; e.g.; FOR Performing Mechanical Work IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, General sits between Gate CFV Solutions, Inc. and Giacomini S.p.A.

General's three-year grant acceleration

General Vibration Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
