What this shows Metglas's Innovation Score is 39.0/100 (top 39% 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 Metglas?

Each dot is one of Metglas’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). Metglas’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Metglas's grants concentrate

Metglas, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 73.3% of grants classified under H01F (MAGNETS; INDUCTANCES; TRANSFORMERS; Selection OF Materials FOR Their Magnetic Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Metglas sits between MemoryWeb, LLC and Minimax GmbH.

Metglas's three-year grant acceleration

Metglas, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
