What this shows Munster's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Munster?

Each dot is one of Munster’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). Munster’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Munster's grants concentrate

Munster Simms Engineering Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under F24H (Fluid Heaters, e.g. Water OR AIR Heaters, Having Heat-generating Means, e.g. Heat Pumps, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Munster sits between Moxietec, LLC and Nanjing Nutrabuilding Bio-tech Co., Ltd..

Munster's three-year grant acceleration

Munster Simms Engineering Limited shows 1 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.
