What this shows Inpro/seal's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Inpro/seal?

Each dot is one of Inpro/seal’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). Inpro/seal’s own 15.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Inpro/seal's grants concentrate

Inpro/Seal LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under F16J (Pistons ; CYLINDERS; Sealings). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Inpro/seal sits between Impax Laboratories, LLC and Intervene, Inc..

Inpro/seal's three-year grant acceleration

Inpro/Seal LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
