What this shows Montana's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 43% 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 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Montana's grants concentrate

Montana Technological University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under G01R (Measuring Electric VARIABLES; Measuring Magnetic Variables). By volume, Montana sits between Momentum Bioscience Limited and Mosaic Manufacturing Ltd..

Montana's three-year grant acceleration

Montana Technological University shows 3 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.
