What this shows Separation's Innovation Score is 53.5/100 (top 9% 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 Separation?

Each dot is one of Separation’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). Separation’s own 28.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Separation's grants concentrate

Separation Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B03C (Magnetic OR Electrostatic Separation OF Solid Materials From Solid Materials OR FLUIDS; Separation BY High-voltage Electric Fields). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Separation sits between Sentient Energy, Inc. and Serene House International Enterprise Ltd..

Separation's three-year grant acceleration

Separation Technologies LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
