What this shows ODL's Innovation Score is 45.2/100 (top 24% 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 ODL?

Each dot is one of ODL’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). ODL’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ODL's grants concentrate

ODL, Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, ODL sits between Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. and Olababy Incorporated.

ODL's three-year grant acceleration

ODL, Incorporated shows 4 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.
