What this shows Source's Innovation Score is 59.0/100 (top 4% 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 Source?

Each dot is one of Source’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). Source’s own 22.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Source's grants concentrate

Source Global, PBC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Source sits between Softwear Automation Inc. and Summit ESP, LLC.

Source's three-year grant acceleration

Source Global, PBC shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
