What this shows Benchmark's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% 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 Benchmark?

Each dot is one of Benchmark’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). Benchmark’s own 19.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Benchmark's grants concentrate

Benchmark Electronics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Benchmark sits between Beghelli SPA and Blue World Technologies Holding APS.

Benchmark's three-year grant acceleration

Benchmark Electronics, Inc. shows 5 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.
