What this shows Blinker's Innovation Score is 38.2/100 (top 41% 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 Blinker?

Each dot is one of Blinker’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). Blinker’s own 28.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Blinker's grants concentrate

Blinker Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 97% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Blinker sits between BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. and BorgWarner US Technologies LLC.

Blinker's three-year grant acceleration

Blinker Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
