What this shows Centaur's Innovation Score is 53.0/100 (top 9% 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 Centaur?

Each dot is one of Centaur’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). Centaur’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Centaur's grants concentrate

Centaur Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Centaur sits between CCC Information Services Inc. and Chirogate International Inc..

Centaur's three-year grant acceleration

Centaur Technology, Inc. shows 18 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.
