What this shows Harris's Innovation Score is 32.1/100 (40th 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 Harris?

Each dot is one of Harris’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). Harris’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 18.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Harris's grants concentrate

Harris Research, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C11D (Detergent COMPOSITIONS; USE OF Single Substances AS DETERGENTS; Soap OR SOAP-MAKING; Resin SOAPS; Recovery OF Glycerol). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Harris sits between Hangzhou Yixiang Technology Research and Development Co., Ltd. and HelixBind, Inc..

Harris's three-year grant acceleration

Harris Research, Inc. shows 2 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.
