What this shows J.j.'s Innovation Score is 43.5/100 (top 28% 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 J.j.?

Each dot is one of J.j.’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). J.j.’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where J.j.'s grants concentrate

J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 45.8% of grants classified under G07C (Time OR Attendance REGISTERS; Registering OR Indicating THE Working OF MACHINES; Generating Random NUMBERS; Voting OR Lottery APPARATUS; Arrangements, Systems OR Apparatus FOR Checking NOT Provided FO). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, J.j. sits between Infiltrator Water Technologies, LLC and John Crane UK Limited.

J.j.'s three-year grant acceleration

J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc. shows 6 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.
