What this shows Viking's Innovation Score is 35.0/100 (top 50% 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 Viking?

Each dot is one of Viking’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). Viking’s own 10.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Viking's grants concentrate

Viking Range, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under F25D (REFRIGERATORS; Cold ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; Cooling OR Freezing Apparatus NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Viking sits between Vatbox, Ltd. and Wahl GMBH.

Viking's three-year grant acceleration

Viking Range, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
