What this shows Convergent's Innovation Score is 29.8/100 (32nd 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 Convergent?

Each dot is one of Convergent’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). Convergent’s own 19.7 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 Convergent's grants concentrate

Convergent Engineering, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Convergent sits between Consolidated Shoe Company, Inc. and Coopers Fire Limited.

Convergent's three-year grant acceleration

Convergent Engineering, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
