What this shows Gen's Innovation Score is 57.4/100 (top 5% 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 Gen?

Each dot is one of Gen’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). Gen’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gen's grants concentrate

Gen Digital Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 63.9% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (23 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Gen sits between Factor Bioscience Inc. and Harbin Engineering University.

Gen's three-year grant acceleration

Gen Digital Inc. shows 43 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
