What this shows Montag's Innovation Score is 33.0/100 (43rd percentile 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 Montag?

Each dot is one of Montag’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). Montag’s own 14.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Montag's grants concentrate

Montag Investments, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 65% of grants classified under G01F (Measuring Volume, Volume Flow, Mass Flow OR Liquid LEVEL; Metering BY Volume). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Montag sits between Minnesota Imaging and Engineering LLC and Nagase & Co., Ltd..

Montag's three-year grant acceleration

Montag Investments, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
