Does more volume mean deeper claims for Innovative?
Each dot is one of Innovative’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). Innovative’s own 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Innovative's grants concentrate
Innovative Mining Products (PTY) Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E21D (SHAFTS; TUNNELS; GALLERIES; Large Underground Chambers). By volume, Innovative sits between Innovaccer Inc. and Innovid, Inc..
Innovative's three-year grant acceleration
Innovative Mining Products (PTY) Ltd shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
