What this shows VRG's Innovation Score is 24.0/100 (13th 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 VRG?

Each dot is one of VRG’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). VRG’s own 8.7 claims/patent is at or below the 11.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where VRG's grants concentrate

VRG Controls, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). By volume, VRG sits between Viveve, Inc. and Valtra Oy Ab.

VRG's three-year grant acceleration

VRG Controls, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
