What this shows Pentair's Innovation Score is 52.3/100 (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 Pentair?

Each dot is one of Pentair’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). Pentair’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Pentair's grants concentrate

Pentair Flow Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 56.7% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Pentair sits between New Motech Co., Ltd. and Rosco, Inc..

Pentair's three-year grant acceleration

Pentair Flow Technologies, LLC shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
