What this shows Michigan's Innovation Score is 48.8/100 (top 16% 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 Michigan?

Each dot is one of Michigan’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). Michigan’s own 15.2 claims/patent is at or below the 18.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Michigan's grants concentrate

Michigan Aerospace Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Michigan sits between MG Tech Center BV H.O.D.N. Lock Technology and Microsilicon, Inc..

Michigan's three-year grant acceleration

Michigan Aerospace Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
