What this shows Mccloskey's Innovation Score is 28.3/100 (27th 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 Mccloskey?

Each dot is one of Mccloskey’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). Mccloskey’s own 10.6 claims/patent is at or below the 13.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mccloskey's grants concentrate

Mccloskey International Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 78.6% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Mccloskey sits between Maxell Izumi Co., Ltd. and Micro-star Int'l Co, Ltd..

Mccloskey's three-year grant acceleration

Mccloskey International Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
