What this shows Locator's Innovation Score is 37.0/100 (top 45% 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 Locator?

Each dot is one of Locator’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). Locator’s own 21.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Locator's grants concentrate

Locator IP, L.P. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 87% of grants classified under G01W (Meteorology). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Locator sits between LifeFuels, Inc. and MAC Valves, Inc..

Locator's three-year grant acceleration

Locator IP, L.P. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
