What this shows Vaproshield's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 Vaproshield?

Each dot is one of Vaproshield’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). Vaproshield’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vaproshield's grants concentrate

VaproShield LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E04D (Roof COVERINGS; SKY-LIGHTS; GUTTERS; Roof-working Tools). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Vaproshield sits between Valeo Etudes Electroniques and Vaultek Safe Inc..

Vaproshield's three-year grant acceleration

VaproShield LLC shows 5 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.
