What this shows Accelerate's Innovation Score is 32.2/100 (40th percentile 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 Accelerate?

Each dot is one of Accelerate’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). Accelerate’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Accelerate's grants concentrate

Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Accelerate sits between Aveo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and ActionPower Corp..

Accelerate's three-year grant acceleration

Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
