What this shows Modular's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Modular?

Each dot is one of Modular’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). Modular’s own 10.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Modular's grants concentrate

Modular Mining Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 51.5% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Modular sits between Marel Stork Poultry Processing B.V. and Mahle Behr GmbH & Co. KG.

Modular's three-year grant acceleration

Modular Mining Systems, Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
