What this shows Profire's Innovation Score is 30.4/100 (34th 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 Profire?

Each dot is one of Profire’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). Profire’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Profire's grants concentrate

Profire Energy, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under Y04S (Systems Integrating Technologies Related TO Power Network Operation, Communication OR Information Technologies FOR Improving THE Electrical Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Management OR ). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Profire sits between Privacy4Cars, Inc. and Public Joint Stock Company “Sibur Holding”.

Profire's three-year grant acceleration

Profire Energy, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
