What this shows VMR's Innovation Score is 27.7/100 (25th 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 VMR?

Each dot is one of VMR’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). VMR’s own 9.9 claims/patent is at or below the 12.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where VMR's grants concentrate

VMR Products LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 44.7% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, VMR sits between VDyne, Inc. and Vivex Biomedical, Inc..

VMR's three-year grant acceleration

VMR Products LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
