What this shows 2nd's Innovation Score is 49.1/100 (top 15% 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 2nd?

Each dot is one of 2nd’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). 2nd’s own 17.1 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 2nd's grants concentrate

2nd Skull, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 2nd sits between 1globe Biomedical Co., Ltd. and 7Tunnels Inc..

2nd's three-year grant acceleration

2nd Skull, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
