What this shows Sargento's Innovation Score is 29.8/100 (32nd 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 Sargento?

Each dot is one of Sargento’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). Sargento’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sargento's grants concentrate

Sargento Foods Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 39.3% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Sargento sits between Sprinklr, Inc. and Sequans Communications SA.

Sargento's three-year grant acceleration

Sargento Foods Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
