What this shows Bridge's Innovation Score is 28.8/100 (28th 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 Bridge?

Each dot is one of Bridge’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). Bridge’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bridge's grants concentrate

Bridge Semiconductor Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Bridge sits between Altair Engineering, Inc. and Big Switch Networks LLC.

Bridge's three-year grant acceleration

Bridge Semiconductor Corp. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
