What this shows Macgregor's Innovation Score is 28.2/100 (26th percentile 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 Macgregor?

Each dot is one of Macgregor’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). Macgregor’s own 14.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 3.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Macgregor's grants concentrate

MacGregor Norway AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Macgregor sits between MY Core Control Development, LLC and Mantrose-Haeuser Co., Inc..

Macgregor's three-year grant acceleration

MacGregor Norway AS shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
