What this shows Century's Innovation Score is 45.7/100 (top 22% 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 Century?

Each dot is one of Century’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). Century’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Century's grants concentrate

Century Technology (Shenzhen) Corporation Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 54% of grants classified under G02F (Optical Devices OR Arrangements FOR THE Control OF Light BY Modification OF THE Optical Properties OF THE Media OF THE Elements Involved THEREIN; Non-linear OPTICS; Frequency-changing OF LIGHT; Optica). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Century sits between Baldwin Filters, Inc. and Exergyn, Ltd..

Century's three-year grant acceleration

Century Technology (Shenzhen) Corporation Limited shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
