What this shows Snow's Innovation Score is 39.9/100 (top 37% 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 Snow?

Each dot is one of Snow’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). Snow’s own 11.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Snow's grants concentrate

Snow Joe, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under E01H (Street CLEANING; Cleaning OF Permanent WAYS; Cleaning BEACHES; Dispersing ; OR PREVENTING; FOG IN General ; Cleaning Street OR Railway Furniture OR Tunnel Walls). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Snow sits between Smart Antenna Technologies Ltd. and Sonics & Materials, Inc..

Snow's three-year grant acceleration

Snow Joe, LLC 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.
