What this shows Pactiv's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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 Pactiv?

Each dot is one of Pactiv’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). Pactiv’s own 13.7 claims/patent is at or below the 18.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Pactiv's grants concentrate

Pactiv LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Pactiv sits between Oledworks GMBH and PRx Performance, LLC.

Pactiv's three-year grant acceleration

Pactiv LLC shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
