What this shows WTS's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 WTS?

Each dot is one of WTS’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). WTS’s own 11.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where WTS's grants concentrate

WTS LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, WTS sits between Wolf & Associates, Inc. and Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, LLC.

WTS's three-year grant acceleration

WTS LLC 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.
