What this shows Microban's Innovation Score is 45.4/100 (top 23% 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 Microban?

Each dot is one of Microban’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). Microban’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Microban's grants concentrate

Microban Products Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 78.7% 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 2024 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Microban sits between Lenovo Global Technology (United States) Inc. and Maxar Space LLC.

Microban's three-year grant acceleration

Microban Products Company shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
