What this shows KLS's Innovation Score is 24.2/100 (14th 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 KLS?

Each dot is one of KLS’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). KLS’s own 11.7 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where KLS's grants concentrate

KLS Martin, L.P. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, KLS sits between Kenford Industrial Company Ltd. and Kreemo Inc..

KLS's three-year grant acceleration

KLS Martin, L.P. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
