What this shows Ksi's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Ksi?

Each dot is one of Ksi’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). Ksi’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ksi's grants concentrate

KSi Conveyor, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Ksi sits between Kitaru Innovations Inc. and Karcher North America, Inc..

Ksi's three-year grant acceleration

KSi Conveyor, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
