What this shows Clear's Innovation Score is 41.0/100 (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 Clear?

Each dot is one of Clear’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). Clear’s own 24.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Clear's grants concentrate

Clear Imaging Research, LLC. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Clear sits between Cellular Communications Equipment LLC and Convotherm-elektrogerate GMBH.

Clear's three-year grant acceleration

Clear Imaging Research, LLC. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
