What this shows Naturally's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th percentile 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 Naturally?

Each dot is one of Naturally’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). Naturally’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Naturally's grants concentrate

Naturally Recycled Proteins, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A22B (Slaughtering). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Naturally sits between Nara Machinery Co., Ltd. and Navinta III Inc.

Naturally's three-year grant acceleration

Naturally Recycled Proteins, LLC 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.
