What this shows Wildlife's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 Wildlife?

Each dot is one of Wildlife’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). Wildlife’s own 8.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wildlife's grants concentrate

Wildlife Research Center, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Wildlife sits between Whitford Corporation and Windtree Therapeutics, Inc..

Wildlife's three-year grant acceleration

Wildlife Research Center, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
