What this shows PPG's Innovation Score is 51.4/100 (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 PPG?

Each dot is one of PPG’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). PPG’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where PPG's grants concentrate

PPG Advanced Surface Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B32B (Layered Products, i.e. Products Built-up OF Strata OF Flat OR Non-flat, e.g. Cellular OR Honeycomb, Form). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, PPG sits between Powervision Robot Inc. and Prellis Biologics, Inc..

PPG's three-year grant acceleration

PPG Advanced Surface Technologies, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
