What this shows Sloan's Innovation Score is 51.8/100 (top 11% 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 Sloan?

Each dot is one of Sloan’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). Sloan’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sloan's grants concentrate

Sloan Valve Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under E03D (Water-closets OR Urinals With Flushing DEVICES; Flushing Valves Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Sloan sits between Semiconductor Manufacturing (Beijing) International Corporation and TLV Co., Ltd..

Sloan's three-year grant acceleration

Sloan Valve Company shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
