What this shows Patent's Innovation Score is 29.9/100 (32nd 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 Patent?

Each dot is one of Patent’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). Patent’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Patent's grants concentrate

Patent & Investment LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B05C (Apparatus FOR Applying Fluent Materials TO Surfaces, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Patent sits between Panera, LLC and Penguin Magic, Inc..

Patent's three-year grant acceleration

Patent & Investment LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
