What this shows Grass's Innovation Score is 45.0/100 (top 24% 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 Grass?

Each dot is one of Grass’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). Grass’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Grass's grants concentrate

Grass Valley Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 76.3% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 6 in 2021. By volume, Grass sits between GE Renewable Technologies Wind B.V. and Guerbet.

Grass's three-year grant acceleration

Grass Valley Limited shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
