What this shows Kidde's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Kidde?

Each dot is one of Kidde’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). Kidde’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kidde's grants concentrate

Kidde Graviner Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under A62C (Fire-fighting). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Kidde sits between KBK Industries, LLC and Klatu Networks, Inc..

Kidde's three-year grant acceleration

Kidde Graviner Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
