What this shows Ontario's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 40% 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 Ontario?

Each dot is one of Ontario’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). Ontario’s own 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ontario's grants concentrate

Ontario Drive & Gear Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under B62D (Motor VEHICLES; Trailers). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ontario sits between Oncodesign SA and Operation and Data Integrity, Ltd..

Ontario's three-year grant acceleration

Ontario Drive & Gear Limited shows 2 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.
