What this shows Blink's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 37% 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 Blink?

Each dot is one of Blink’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). Blink’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 6.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Blink's grants concentrate

Blink AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Blink sits between Blackpoint Tactical LLC and Blubox Security, Inc..

Blink's three-year grant acceleration

Blink AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
