What this shows Altek's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 Altek?

Each dot is one of Altek’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). Altek’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Altek's grants concentrate

Altek Semiconductor Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Altek sits between Ada-es, Inc. and Apollo Endosurgery, Inc..

Altek's three-year grant acceleration

Altek Semiconductor Corporation shows 9 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.
