What this shows Scandium's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 Scandium?

Each dot is one of Scandium’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). Scandium’s own 25.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Scandium's grants concentrate

Scandium International Mining Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under C22B (Production AND Refining OF Metals ; Pretreatment OF RAW Materials). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Scandium sits between Satellite Industries, Inc. and Seaboard International LLC.

Scandium's three-year grant acceleration

Scandium International Mining Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
