What this shows Modern's Innovation Score is 39.5/100 (top 38% 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 Modern?

Each dot is one of Modern’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). Modern’s own 15.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Modern's grants concentrate

Modern Flames, LLC. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F24C (Domestic Stoves OR Ranges ; Details OF Domestic Stoves OR Ranges, OF General Application). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Modern sits between MLB Advanced Media, L.P. and Molex CVS Dabendorf GMBH.

Modern's three-year grant acceleration

Modern Flames, LLC. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
