What this shows VME's Innovation Score is 39.6/100 (top 38% 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 VME?

Each dot is one of VME’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). VME’s own 19.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where VME's grants concentrate

VME Process, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C10G (Cracking Hydrocarbon OILS; Production OF Liquid Hydrocarbon Mixtures, e.g. BY Destructive Hydrogenation, Oligomerisation, Polymerisation ; Recovery OF Hydrocarbon Oils From Oil-shale, Oil-sand, OR GAS). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, VME sits between Vital Signs, Inc. and Volcon.

VME's three-year grant acceleration

VME Process, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
