What this shows Consumerdirect's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 Consumerdirect?

Each dot is one of Consumerdirect’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). Consumerdirect’s own 4.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Consumerdirect's grants concentrate

ConsumerDirect, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 10% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Consumerdirect sits between Clear Cove Systems, Inc and Cryostar SAS.

Consumerdirect's three-year grant acceleration

ConsumerDirect, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
