What this shows Ship's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 Ship?

Each dot is one of Ship’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). Ship’s own 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ship's grants concentrate

Ship AND Ocean Industries R&dcenter is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ship sits between Shedrain Corporation and Silicon Display Technology.

Ship's three-year grant acceleration

Ship AND Ocean Industries R&dcenter shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
