What this shows Wexco's Innovation Score is 24.6/100 (15th 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 Wexco?

Each dot is one of Wexco’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). Wexco’s own 15.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wexco's grants concentrate

Wexco Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Wexco sits between Welland Medical Limited and Wilder Tactical, LLC.

Wexco's three-year grant acceleration

Wexco Incorporated shows 1 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.
