What this shows GDC's Innovation Score is 29.0/100 (29th 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 GDC?

Each dot is one of GDC’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). GDC’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where GDC's grants concentrate

GDC Technology (Shenzhen) Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, GDC sits between G21 S.R.L. and GEA Westfalia Separator Group GmbH.

GDC's three-year grant acceleration

GDC Technology (Shenzhen) Limited shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
