What this shows Centipede's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th 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 Centipede?

Each dot is one of Centipede’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). Centipede’s own 13.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Centipede's grants concentrate

Centipede Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Centipede sits between Cellink Bioprinting AB and Chakrabarti Advanced Technology LLC.

Centipede's three-year grant acceleration

Centipede Systems, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
