What this shows Locus's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (top 16% 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 Locus?

Each dot is one of Locus’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). Locus’s own 14.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Locus's grants concentrate

Locus Robotics Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B25J (MANIPULATORS; Chambers Provided With Manipulation Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, Locus sits between Kuhn S.A. and Michigan Technological University.

Locus's three-year grant acceleration

Locus Robotics Corp. shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
