What this shows Chronos's Innovation Score is 29.5/100 (31st 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 Chronos?

Each dot is one of Chronos’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). Chronos’s own 16.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Chronos's grants concentrate

Chronos Tech LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 68.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Chronos sits between Chemtura Corporation and CM HK Limited.

Chronos's three-year grant acceleration

Chronos Tech LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
