What this shows Goodwin's Innovation Score is 25.4/100 (17th 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 Goodwin?

Each dot is one of Goodwin’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). Goodwin’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Goodwin's grants concentrate

Goodwin PLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Goodwin sits between Gongniu Group Co., Ltd. and Gowan Company, LLC.

Goodwin's three-year grant acceleration

Goodwin PLC shows 1 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.
