What this shows Weiler's Innovation Score is 45.0/100 (top 24% 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 Weiler?

Each dot is one of Weiler’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). Weiler’s own 17.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Weiler's grants concentrate

Weiler, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Weiler sits between Water Gremlin Company and Workfusion, Inc..

Weiler's three-year grant acceleration

Weiler, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
