What this shows Circuit's Innovation Score is 26.6/100 (21st 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 Circuit?

Each dot is one of Circuit’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). Circuit’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Circuit's grants concentrate

Circuit Seed, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under H10D (Inorganic Electric Semiconductor Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Circuit sits between Cheveux Corporation and Cleland Sales Corporation.

Circuit's three-year grant acceleration

Circuit Seed, LLC shows 1 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.
