What this shows VGP's Innovation Score is 49.3/100 (top 15% 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 VGP?

Each dot is one of VGP’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). VGP’s own 15.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where VGP's grants concentrate

VGP Ipco LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under C10M (Lubricating Compositions ; USE OF Chemical Substances Either Alone OR AS Lubricating Ingredients IN A Lubricating Composition). By volume, VGP sits between Vegenics PTY Limited and Visic Technologies Ltd.

VGP's three-year grant acceleration

VGP Ipco LLC shows 6 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.
