What this shows Vericool's Innovation Score is 31.1/100 (37th percentile 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 Vericool?

Each dot is one of Vericool’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). Vericool’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vericool's grants concentrate

Vericool, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02W (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Wastewater Treatment OR Waste Management). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Vericool sits between Vector Atomic, Inc. and ViCentra B.V..

Vericool's three-year grant acceleration

Vericool, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
