What this shows Whole's Innovation Score is 26.6/100 (21st 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 Whole?

Each dot is one of Whole’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). Whole’s own 14.5 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Whole's grants concentrate

Whole Space Industries Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 76.2% of grants classified under E06B (Fixed OR Movable Closures FOR Openings IN Buildings, Vehicles, Fences OR Like Enclosures IN General, e.g. Doors, Windows, Blinds, Gates). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Whole sits between Wuxi Little Swan Electric Co., Ltd. and Winter Equipment Company.

Whole's three-year grant acceleration

Whole Space Industries Ltd 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.
