What this shows GCI's Innovation Score is 30.7/100 (35th 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 GCI?

Each dot is one of GCI’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). GCI’s own 16.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where GCI's grants concentrate

GCI Outdoor LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 77.3% of grants classified under A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; Beds). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, GCI sits between Fusion Holdings Limited and GPB Scientific, LLC.

GCI's three-year grant acceleration

GCI Outdoor LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
