What this shows Evolv's Innovation Score is 37.2/100 (top 44% 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 Evolv?

Each dot is one of Evolv’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). Evolv’s own 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 12.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Evolv's grants concentrate

Evolv, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Evolv sits between Evergreen Packaging LLC and Eyegene Inc..

Evolv's three-year grant acceleration

Evolv, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
