What this shows Road's Innovation Score is 44.6/100 (top 25% 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 Road?

Each dot is one of Road’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). Road’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Road's grants concentrate

Road Widener LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Road sits between RLS Merilna Tehnika D.O.O. and Romac Industries, Inc..

Road's three-year grant acceleration

Road Widener LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
