What this shows Precision's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 Precision?

Each dot is one of Precision’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). Precision’s own 15.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Precision's grants concentrate

Precision Valve & Automation, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Precision sits between Pixium Vision SA and Proprietect L.P..

Precision's three-year grant acceleration

Precision Valve & Automation, Inc. shows 5 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.
