What this shows PB's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 PB?

Each dot is one of PB’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). PB’s own 15.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where PB's grants concentrate

PB Funding Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C12C (BEER; Preparation OF Beer BY Fermentation ; Preparation OF Malt FOR Making BEER; Preparation OF Hops FOR Making Beer). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, PB sits between Parrable Inc. and Perfect IP, LLC.

PB's three-year grant acceleration

PB Funding Group, LLC shows 6 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.
