What this shows 7tunnels's Innovation Score is 36.4/100 (top 47% 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 7tunnels?

Each dot is one of 7tunnels’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). 7tunnels’s own 22.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 7tunnels's grants concentrate

7Tunnels Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, 7tunnels sits between 2nd Skull, Inc. and A&E Advanced Closure Systems, LLC.

7tunnels's three-year grant acceleration

7Tunnels Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
