What this shows Clearone's Innovation Score is 57.8/100 (top 5% 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 Clearone?

Each dot is one of Clearone’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). Clearone’s own 27.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Clearone's grants concentrate

ClearOne, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 73.5% of grants classified under G10L (Speech Analysis Techniques OR Speech SYNTHESIS; Speech RECOGNITION; Speech OR Voice Processing TECHNIQUES; Speech OR Audio Coding OR Decoding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Clearone sits between Canrig Robotic Technologies AS and Cornerstone Research Group, Inc..

Clearone's three-year grant acceleration

ClearOne, Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
