What this shows Wintergreen's Innovation Score is 29.8/100 (32nd 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 Wintergreen?

Each dot is one of Wintergreen’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). Wintergreen’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wintergreen's grants concentrate

Wintergreen Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Wintergreen sits between Wilsa Holdings, LLC and Wittmann Kunststoffgeräte GmbH.

Wintergreen's three-year grant acceleration

Wintergreen Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
