What this shows Johnson's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 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 Matthey Process Technologies, Inc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under C10G (Cracking Hydrocarbon OILS; Production OF Liquid Hydrocarbon Mixtures, e.g. BY Destructive Hydrogenation, Oligomerisation, Polymerisation ; Recovery OF Hydrocarbon Oils From Oil-shale, Oil-sand, OR GAS). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Johnson sits between John Evans' Sons, Incorporated and Juliet Marine Systems, Inc..

Johnson's three-year grant acceleration

Johnson Matthey Process Technologies, Inc 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.
