What this shows Vtec's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Vtec?

Each dot is one of Vtec’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). Vtec’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vtec's grants concentrate

Vtec Consulting LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under F04F (Pumping OF Fluid BY Direct Contact OF Another Fluid OR BY Using Inertia OF Fluid TO BE Pumped ; Siphons). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Vtec sits between Voestalpine VAE GMBH and Valeo Climate Control Corporation.

Vtec's three-year grant acceleration

Vtec Consulting LLC shows 3 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.
