What this shows Plastic's Innovation Score is 24.7/100 (15th 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 Plastic?

Each dot is one of Plastic’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). Plastic’s own 11.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Plastic's grants concentrate

Plastic Development Group is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Plastic sits between Pixi Lighting, Inc. and Plexbio Co., Ltd..

Plastic's three-year grant acceleration

Plastic Development Group shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
