What this shows Proprietary's Innovation Score is 24.3/100 (14th 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 Proprietary?

Each dot is one of Proprietary’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). Proprietary’s own 6.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Proprietary's grants concentrate

Proprietary Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 21.1% of grants classified under B25B (Tools OR Bench Devices NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, FOR Fastening, Connecting, Disengaging OR Holding). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Proprietary sits between Privowny, Inc. and Quality MAT Company.

Proprietary's three-year grant acceleration

Proprietary Technologies, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
