What this shows Darktrace's Innovation Score is 53.8/100 (top 8% 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 Darktrace?

Each dot is one of Darktrace’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). Darktrace’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Darktrace's grants concentrate

Darktrace Holdings Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Darktrace sits between CPA Pool Products, Inc. and Equistar Chemicals, LP.

Darktrace's three-year grant acceleration

Darktrace Holdings Limited shows 34 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.
