What this shows Klean's Innovation Score is 20.1/100 (6th 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 Klean?

Each dot is one of Klean’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). Klean’s own 3.8 claims/patent is at or below the 11.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Klean's grants concentrate

Klean Kanteen, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 16% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Klean sits between Javad Gnss, Inc. and Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel, Ltd.).

Klean's three-year grant acceleration

Klean Kanteen, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
