What this shows Se-kure's Innovation Score is 42.9/100 (top 29% 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 Se-kure?

Each dot is one of Se-kure’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). Se-kure’s own 20.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Se-kure's grants concentrate

Se-Kure Controls, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under A47F (Special Furniture, Fittings, OR Accessories FOR Shops, Storehouses, Bars, Restaurants OR THE LIKE; Paying Counters). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Se-kure sits between Sanofi Pasteur SA and Siwa Corporation.

Se-kure's three-year grant acceleration

Se-Kure Controls, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
