What this shows Medway's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 Medway?

Each dot is one of Medway’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). Medway’s own 16.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Medway's grants concentrate

Medway Plastics Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; Beds). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Medway sits between Marotta Controls, Inc. and MindBody, Inc..

Medway's three-year grant acceleration

Medway Plastics Corporation shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
