What this shows Worktools's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 Worktools?

Each dot is one of Worktools’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). Worktools’s own 18.2 claims/patent is at or below the 20.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Worktools's grants concentrate

WorkTools, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 70.6% of grants classified under B25C (Hand-held Nailing OR Stapling TOOLS; Manually Operated Portable Stapling Tools). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Worktools sits between Watershed Geosynthetics LLC and Xiant Technologies, Inc..

Worktools's three-year grant acceleration

WorkTools, Inc. shows 3 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.
