What this shows Criteo's Innovation Score is 37.7/100 (top 43% 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 Criteo?

Each dot is one of Criteo’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). Criteo’s own 23.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Criteo's grants concentrate

Criteo S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 85% 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 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Criteo sits between Comigo Ltd. and CVF Motorsports, Inc..

Criteo's three-year grant acceleration

Criteo S.A. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
