What this shows RBI's Innovation Score is 32.2/100 (40th 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 RBI?

Each dot is one of RBI’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). RBI’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where RBI's grants concentrate

RBI Solar, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F24S (Solar Heat COLLECTORS; Solar Heat Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, RBI sits between Raptor Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Realization Desal AG.

RBI's three-year grant acceleration

RBI Solar, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
