What this shows Greenthread's Innovation Score is 32.2/100 (40th 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 Greenthread?

Each dot is one of Greenthread’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). Greenthread’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Greenthread's grants concentrate

Greenthread, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H10D (Inorganic Electric Semiconductor Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Greenthread sits between Goldbrecht LLC and Guangzhou Lanshidun Electronic Limited Company.

Greenthread's three-year grant acceleration

Greenthread, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
