What this shows Premier's Innovation Score is 35.0/100 (49th 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 Premier?

Each dot is one of Premier’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). Premier’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Premier's grants concentrate

Premier Equipment, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B60D (Vehicle Connections). By volume, Premier sits between Precision Shooting Equipment, Inc. and Pressol-Schmiergeräte Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung.

Premier's three-year grant acceleration

Premier Equipment, Inc. shows 2 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.
