What this shows Case-mate's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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 Case-mate?

Each dot is one of Case-mate’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). Case-mate’s own 9.1 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Case-mate's grants concentrate

Case-mate, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 31.4% of grants classified under H04M (Telephonic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Case-mate sits between BlendJet Inc. and Cixi Huazhijie Plastic Product Co., Ltd..

Case-mate's three-year grant acceleration

Case-mate, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
