What this shows Qualipac's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 Qualipac?

Each dot is one of Qualipac’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). Qualipac’s own 15.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Qualipac's grants concentrate

Qualipac is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A45D (Hairdressing OR Shaving Equipment ; Equipment FOR Cosmetics OR Cosmetic Treatments, e.g. FOR Manicuring OR Pedicuring). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Qualipac sits between Qingdao Institute OF Bioenergy AND Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy OF Sciences and Quantum Design International, Inc..

Qualipac's three-year grant acceleration

Qualipac 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.
