What this shows Massey's Innovation Score is 45.3/100 (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 Massey?

Each dot is one of Massey’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). Massey’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Massey's grants concentrate

Massey University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Massey sits between Marsulex Environmental Technologies Corporation and Maverick Industries, Inc..

Massey's three-year grant acceleration

Massey University shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
