What this shows Evolv's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 24.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Evolv's grants concentrate

Evolv Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Evolv sits between Estetra Sprl and F-star Therapeutics Limited.

Evolv's three-year grant acceleration

Evolv Technologies, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
