What this shows Crfs's Innovation Score is 34.6/100 (48th 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 Crfs?

Each dot is one of Crfs’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). Crfs’s own 26.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Crfs's grants concentrate

Crfs Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Crfs sits between Creative Surgical Solutions LLC and Crushproof Tubing Co..

Crfs's three-year grant acceleration

Crfs Limited 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.
