What this shows Laurel's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 36% 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 6.1 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 Machinery Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). By volume, Laurel sits between Lakehead University and LEN Tech Inc..

Laurel's three-year grant acceleration

Laurel Machinery Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
