What this shows Rooftop's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 32% 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 Rooftop?

Each dot is one of Rooftop’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). Rooftop’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rooftop's grants concentrate

Rooftop Research, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B05C (Apparatus FOR Applying Fluent Materials TO Surfaces, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Rooftop sits between Rocket Innovations, Inc. and Rovi Solutions Corporation.

Rooftop's three-year grant acceleration

Rooftop Research, LLC shows 7 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.
