What this shows Peterson's Innovation Score is 49.0/100 (top 15% 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 Peterson?

Each dot is one of Peterson’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). Peterson’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Peterson's grants concentrate

Peterson Manufacturing Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under B60Q (Arrangement OF Signalling OR Lighting Devices, THE Mounting OR Supporting Thereof OR Circuits Therefor, FOR Vehicles IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Peterson sits between Pathy Medical, LLC and Pliant Therapeutics, Inc..

Peterson's three-year grant acceleration

Peterson Manufacturing Company shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
