What this shows Spring's Innovation Score is 25.0/100 (16th percentile 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 Spring?

Each dot is one of Spring’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). Spring’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Spring's grants concentrate

Spring Loaded Technology Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). By volume, Spring sits between Spectro Analytical Instruments GMBH and SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG.

Spring's three-year grant acceleration

Spring Loaded Technology Incorporated shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
