What this shows 3D's Innovation Score is 36.0/100 (top 48% 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 3D?

Each dot is one of 3D’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). 3D’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 3D's grants concentrate

3D Patents, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B29L (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclass B29c, Relating TO Particular Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, 3D sits between 360fly, Inc. and 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals LLC.

3D's three-year grant acceleration

3D Patents, 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.
