What this shows Macdermid's Innovation Score is 45.6/100 (top 23% 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 Macdermid?

Each dot is one of Macdermid’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). Macdermid’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Macdermid's grants concentrate

MacDermid Enthone Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 84.2% of grants classified under C25D (Processes FOR THE Electrolytic OR Electrophoretic Production OF COATINGS; ELECTROFORMING; Apparatus Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Macdermid sits between Mitsubishi Hitachi Tool Engineering, Ltd. and McKesson Financial Holdings Unlimited Company.

Macdermid's three-year grant acceleration

MacDermid Enthone Inc. shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
