What this shows Paper's Innovation Score is 52.7/100 (top 10% 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 Paper?

Each dot is one of Paper’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). Paper’s own 21.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Paper's grants concentrate

Paper Converting Machine Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 53.1% of grants classified under B65H (Handling Thin OR Filamentary Material, e.g. Sheets, Webs, Cables). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Paper sits between Physical Optics Corporation and Plasmology4.

Paper's three-year grant acceleration

Paper Converting Machine Company shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
