What this shows Freewave's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th percentile 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 Freewave?

Each dot is one of Freewave’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). Freewave’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Freewave's grants concentrate

FreeWave Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Freewave sits between Foundry Therapeutics, Inc. and Friend Success Inc..

Freewave's three-year grant acceleration

FreeWave Technologies, Inc. shows 1 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.
