What this shows Horton's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 40% 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 Horton?

Each dot is one of Horton’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). Horton’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Horton's grants concentrate

Horton DO Brasil Tecnologia Offshore, Ltda. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Horton sits between HMS MFG Co. and Huhtamaki Molded Fiber Technology B.V..

Horton's three-year grant acceleration

Horton DO Brasil Tecnologia Offshore, Ltda. shows 4 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.
