What this shows QTM's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 QTM?

Each dot is one of QTM’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). QTM’s own 34.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where QTM's grants concentrate

QTM, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under F41B (Weapons FOR Projecting Missiles Without USE OF Explosive OR Combustible Propellant CHARGE; Weapons NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, QTM sits between Professional Tool Products LLC and Quantum Elements Development Inc..

QTM's three-year grant acceleration

QTM, LLC shows 8 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.
