What this shows Calient's Innovation Score is 31.6/100 (38th 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 Calient?

Each dot is one of Calient’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). Calient’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Calient's grants concentrate

Calient Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 64.3% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Calient sits between C&A Marketing Inc and Carel Industries S.P.A..

Calient's three-year grant acceleration

Calient Technologies, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
