What this shows Melior's Innovation Score is 45.8/100 (top 22% 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 Melior?

Each dot is one of Melior’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). Melior’s own 30.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Melior's grants concentrate

Melior Innovations, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 85% of grants classified under C08G (Macromolecular Compounds Obtained Otherwise Than BY Reactions Only Involving Unsaturated Carbon-to-carbon Bonds). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Melior sits between Marchex, Inc. and Milestone AV Technologies LLC.

Melior's three-year grant acceleration

Melior Innovations, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
