What this shows Contrast's Innovation Score is 39.5/100 (top 38% 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 Contrast?

Each dot is one of Contrast’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). Contrast’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Contrast's grants concentrate

Contrast, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 89.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Contrast sits between Celgene Avilomics Research, Inc. and DAV.

Contrast's three-year grant acceleration

Contrast, Inc. shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
