What this shows 38th's Innovation Score is 51.6/100 (top 11% 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 38th?

Each dot is one of 38th’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). 38th’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 38th's grants concentrate

38th Research Institute, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, 38th sits between nVoq Incorporated and AA R&D LLC.

38th's three-year grant acceleration

38th Research Institute, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
