What this shows Scale-tec's Innovation Score is 27.5/100 (24th 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 Scale-tec?

Each dot is one of Scale-tec’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). Scale-tec’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Scale-tec's grants concentrate

Scale-Tec, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01G (Weighing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Scale-tec sits between Sargent & Greenleaf, Inc. and Scansonic MI GmbH.

Scale-tec's three-year grant acceleration

Scale-Tec, Ltd. shows 2 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.
