What this shows United's Innovation Score is 35.1/100 (top 50% 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 United?

Each dot is one of United’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). United’s own 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where United's grants concentrate

United Laboratories, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, United sits between Unil Electronics Corporation and Universitat DE Lleida.

United's three-year grant acceleration

United Laboratories, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
