What this shows Mclaughlin's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Mclaughlin?

Each dot is one of Mclaughlin’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). Mclaughlin’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mclaughlin's grants concentrate

McLaughlin Gormley King Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Mclaughlin sits between Microelectronics Technology, Inc. and MiiR Holdings, LLC.

Mclaughlin's three-year grant acceleration

McLaughlin Gormley King Company shows 6 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.
