What this shows Neptune's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 Neptune?

Each dot is one of Neptune’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). Neptune’s own 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Neptune's grants concentrate

Neptune Benson, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 76.9% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Neptune sits between Natural Ocean Well Co. and New York University in Abu Dhabi Corporation.

Neptune's three-year grant acceleration

Neptune Benson, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
