What this shows Laurel's Innovation Score is 44.6/100 (top 25% 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 Laurel?

Each dot is one of Laurel’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). Laurel’s own 7.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Laurel's grants concentrate

Laurel Bank Machines Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 68.8% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Laurel sits between Kronos International, Inc. and Leonardo MW Ltd..

Laurel's three-year grant acceleration

Laurel Bank Machines Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
