What this shows Ultra's Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 Ultra?

Each dot is one of Ultra’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). Ultra’s own 13.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ultra's grants concentrate

Ultra Small Fibers, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Ultra sits between Uacj Foil Corporation and Unitest Inc.

Ultra's three-year grant acceleration

Ultra Small Fibers, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
