What this shows 3play's Innovation Score is 47.0/100 (top 19% 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 3play?

Each dot is one of 3play’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). 3play’s own 26.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 3play's grants concentrate

3Play Media, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under G10L (Speech Analysis Techniques OR Speech SYNTHESIS; Speech RECOGNITION; Speech OR Voice Processing TECHNIQUES; Speech OR Audio Coding OR Decoding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 3play sits between iZotope, Inc. and A. Richard Tools Co. / Outils A. Richard Co..

3play's three-year grant acceleration

3Play Media, Inc. shows 4 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.
