What this shows Olin's Innovation Score is 26.6/100 (21st 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 Olin?

Each dot is one of Olin’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). Olin’s own 10.9 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Olin's grants concentrate

Olin Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 55% of grants classified under F42B (Explosive Charges, e.g. FOR Blasting, Fireworks, Ammunition). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Olin sits between Optimal Plus Ltd. and OstomyCure AS.

Olin's three-year grant acceleration

Olin Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
