What this shows Worthen's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 Worthen?

Each dot is one of Worthen’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). Worthen’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Worthen's grants concentrate

Worthen Industries is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Worthen sits between Wipotec Wiege-und Positioniersysteme GmbH and Xenotherapeutics Corporation.

Worthen's three-year grant acceleration

Worthen Industries shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
