What this shows Vacuworx's Innovation Score is 41.5/100 (top 33% 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 Vacuworx?

Each dot is one of Vacuworx’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). Vacuworx’s own 15.7 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vacuworx's grants concentrate

Vacuworx Global, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 94.1% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Vacuworx sits between Vertiv Energy Systems, Inc. and Vascutek Limited.

Vacuworx's three-year grant acceleration

Vacuworx Global, LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
