What this shows SRI's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 SRI?

Each dot is one of SRI’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). SRI’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SRI's grants concentrate

SRI Energy, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 85% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, SRI sits between SOCIÉTÉ FRANÇAISE DE DÉTECTEURS INFRAROUGES—SOFRADIR and Stichting Wageningen Research.

SRI's three-year grant acceleration

SRI Energy, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
