What this shows Monterey's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 Monterey?

Each dot is one of Monterey’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). Monterey’s own 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Monterey's grants concentrate

Monterey Research, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Monterey sits between Moynat Paris SAS and Neuvana, LLC.

Monterey's three-year grant acceleration

Monterey Research, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
