What this shows M&r's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 36% 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 M&r?

Each dot is one of M&r’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). M&r’s own 16.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where M&r's grants concentrate

M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under B41F (Printing Machines OR Presses). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, M&r sits between Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Company, Limited.

M&r's three-year grant acceleration

M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. shows 7 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.
