What this shows Coriant's Innovation Score is 40.3/100 (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 Coriant?

Each dot is one of Coriant’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). Coriant’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Coriant's grants concentrate

Coriant Operations, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Coriant sits between Cephalon LLC and De' Longhi Appliances S.R.L..

Coriant's three-year grant acceleration

Coriant Operations, Inc. shows 1 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.
