What this shows Johnson's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th 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 Johnson?

Each dot is one of Johnson’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). Johnson’s own 2.2 claims/patent is at or below the 11.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Johnson's grants concentrate

Johnson Level & Tool Mfg. Co., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 2.7% of grants classified under B25H (Workshop Equipment, e.g. FOR Marking-out WORK; Storage Means FOR Workshops). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Johnson sits between Inter-university Research Institute Coporation National Institutes OF Natural Sciences and Klox Technologies Inc..

Johnson's three-year grant acceleration

Johnson Level & Tool Mfg. Co., Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
