What this shows Chromera's Innovation Score is 41.2/100 (top 34% 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 Chromera?

Each dot is one of Chromera’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). Chromera’s own 38.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Chromera's grants concentrate

Chromera, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 39.1% of grants classified under G09G (Arrangements OR Circuits FOR Control OF Indicating Devices Using Static Means TO Present Variable Information). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Chromera sits between Cardica, Inc. and Coherent LaserSystems GmbH & Co. KG.

Chromera's three-year grant acceleration

Chromera, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
