What this shows Outdoor's Innovation Score is 27.1/100 (22nd 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 Outdoor?

Each dot is one of Outdoor’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). Outdoor’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Outdoor's grants concentrate

Outdoor Element, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under A44B (Buttons, Pins, Buckles, Slide Fasteners, OR THE Like). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Outdoor sits between Ossium Health, Inc. and Océ Printing Systems GmbH.

Outdoor's three-year grant acceleration

Outdoor Element, LLC shows 3 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.
