What this shows Acorns's Innovation Score is 28.4/100 (27th 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 Acorns?

Each dot is one of Acorns’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). Acorns’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Acorns's grants concentrate

Acorns Grow Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Acorns sits between Astec Co., Ltd. and Agama-X Co., Ltd..

Acorns's three-year grant acceleration

Acorns Grow Incorporated shows 6 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.
