What this shows Katcher's Innovation Score is 35.2/100 (top 50% 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 Katcher?

Each dot is one of Katcher’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). Katcher’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Katcher's grants concentrate

Katcher LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01V (GEOPHYSICS; Gravitational MEASUREMENTS; Detecting Masses OR OBJECTS; Tags). By volume, Katcher sits between Kadant Inc. and Kingston Health Sciences Centre.

Katcher's three-year grant acceleration

Katcher LLC shows 1 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.
