What this shows Crocus's Innovation Score is 44.7/100 (top 25% 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 Crocus?

Each dot is one of Crocus’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). Crocus’s own 11.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Crocus's grants concentrate

Crocus Technology SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G11C (Static Stores). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Crocus sits between Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited and China Agricultural University.

Crocus's three-year grant acceleration

Crocus Technology SA shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
