What this shows Latitude's Innovation Score is 23.9/100 (13th 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 Latitude?

Each dot is one of Latitude’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). Latitude’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Latitude's grants concentrate

Latitude 18, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C23C (Coating Metallic MATERIAL; Coating Material With Metallic MATERIAL; Surface Treatment OF Metallic Material BY Diffusion Into THE Surface, BY Chemical Conversion OR SUBSTITUTION; Coating BY Vacuum Evap). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Latitude sits between Laimu Corporation and Leading UI Co., Ltd..

Latitude's three-year grant acceleration

Latitude 18, Inc. shows 1 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.
