What this shows Strain's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Strain?

Each dot is one of Strain’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). Strain’s own 23.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Strain's grants concentrate

Strain Measurement Devices, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G01L (Measuring Force, Stress, Torque, Work, Mechanical Power, Mechanical Efficiency, OR Fluid Pressure). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Strain sits between Stmicroelectronics (CANADA), Inc. and Strix Systems, Inc..

Strain's three-year grant acceleration

Strain Measurement Devices, Inc. shows 2 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.
