What this shows Reliance's Innovation Score is 38.3/100 (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 Reliance?

Each dot is one of Reliance’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). Reliance’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Reliance's grants concentrate

Reliance Controls Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 46.9% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Reliance sits between REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC and Schneider Electric Software, LLC.

Reliance's three-year grant acceleration

Reliance Controls Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
