What this shows Energyield's Innovation Score is 44.8/100 (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 Energyield?

Each dot is one of Energyield’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). Energyield’s own 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Energyield's grants concentrate

Energyield LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under F01D (Non-positive Displacement Machines OR Engines, e.g. Steam Turbines). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Energyield sits between Empirix Inc. and Enterex America LLC.

Energyield's three-year grant acceleration

Energyield LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
