What this shows RPM's Innovation Score is 47.0/100 (top 19% 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 RPM?

Each dot is one of RPM’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). RPM’s own 22.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where RPM's grants concentrate

RPM Industries, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 51.7% of grants classified under F01M (Lubricating OF Machines OR Engines IN GENERAL; Lubricating Internal Combustion ENGINES; Crankcase Ventilating). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, RPM sits between QuickStep Technologies LLC and Rovi Product Corporation.

RPM's three-year grant acceleration

RPM Industries, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
