What this shows Vulcan's Innovation Score is 51.1/100 (top 12% 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 Vulcan?

Each dot is one of Vulcan’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). Vulcan’s own 15.9 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vulcan's grants concentrate

Vulcan Industrial Holdings, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Vulcan sits between Voiceage Corporation and WET.

Vulcan's three-year grant acceleration

Vulcan Industrial Holdings, LLC shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
