What this shows Vesuvius's Innovation Score is 36.4/100 (top 47% 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 Vesuvius?

Each dot is one of Vesuvius’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). Vesuvius’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vesuvius's grants concentrate

Vesuvius U S A Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B22D (Casting OF METALS; Casting OF Other Substances BY THE Same Processes OR Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Vesuvius sits between Valeo Securite Habitacle and Vocalzoom Systems Ltd..

Vesuvius's three-year grant acceleration

Vesuvius U S A Corporation shows 4 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.
