What this shows Muffin's Innovation Score is 48.7/100 (top 16% 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 Muffin?

Each dot is one of Muffin’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). Muffin’s own 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Muffin's grants concentrate

Muffin Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 66.1% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Muffin sits between Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and Nokia Shanghai Bell Co. Ltd..

Muffin's three-year grant acceleration

Muffin Incorporated shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
