What this shows Scott's Innovation Score is 43.3/100 (top 28% 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 Scott?

Each dot is one of Scott’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). Scott’s own 18.3 claims/patent is at or below the 19.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Scott's grants concentrate

Scott Equipment Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B02C (Crushing, Pulverising, OR Disintegrating IN GENERAL; Milling Grain). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Scott sits between Scidea Research, Inc. and Scuba Analytics, Inc..

Scott's three-year grant acceleration

Scott Equipment Company shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
