What this shows Empower's Innovation Score is 46.7/100 (top 20% 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 Empower?

Each dot is one of Empower’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). Empower’s own 20.0 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 Empower's grants concentrate

Empower Semiconductor, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90.4% of grants classified under H02M (Apparatus FOR Conversion Between AC AND AC, Between AC AND DC, OR Between DC AND DC, AND FOR USE With Mains OR Similar Power Supply SYSTEMS; Conversion OF DC OR AC Input Power Into Surge Output POWER;). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Empower sits between Dalphi Metal Espana S.A. and Freedman Electronics Pty Limited.

Empower's three-year grant acceleration

Empower Semiconductor, Inc. shows 23 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
