What this shows Physical's Innovation Score is 51.5/100 (top 11% 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 Physical?

Each dot is one of Physical’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). Physical’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Physical's grants concentrate

Physical Sciences Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 36 CPC subclasses with 13% of grants classified under H01M (Processes OR Means, e.g. Batteries, FOR THE Direct Conversion OF Chemical Energy Into Electrical Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Physical sits between Protechna S.A. and Power Box AG.

Physical's three-year grant acceleration

Physical Sciences Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
