What this shows Billups's Innovation Score is 36.0/100 (top 48% 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 Billups?

Each dot is one of Billups’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). Billups’s own 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Billups's grants concentrate

Billups LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Billups sits between Bidirectional Display, Inc. and BioSpex, Inc..

Billups's three-year grant acceleration

Billups LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
