What this shows Montana's Innovation Score is 33.1/100 (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 Montana?

Each dot is one of Montana’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). Montana’s own 25.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Montana's grants concentrate

Montana Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Montana sits between MirraViz, Inc. and Nachi-fujikoshi Corp..

Montana's three-year grant acceleration

Montana Systems Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
