What this shows Bluebird's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd percentile 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 Bluebird?

Each dot is one of Bluebird’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). Bluebird’s own 4.5 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bluebird's grants concentrate

Bluebird Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 23.8% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Bluebird sits between Beaver-visitec International (US), Inc. and Badger Meter, Inc.

Bluebird's three-year grant acceleration

Bluebird Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
