What this shows Actlight's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Actlight?

Each dot is one of Actlight’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). Actlight’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Actlight's grants concentrate

ActLight SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under H10F (Inorganic Semiconductor Devices Sensitive TO Infrared Radiation, Light, Electromagnetic Radiation OF Shorter Wavelength OR Corpuscular Radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Actlight sits between Azotek Co., Ltd. and AdValue Photonics, Inc..

Actlight's three-year grant acceleration

ActLight SA shows 4 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.
