What this shows Guardtime's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 Guardtime?

Each dot is one of Guardtime’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). Guardtime’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Guardtime's grants concentrate

Guardtime SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 93.8% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Guardtime sits between Greenfly, Inc. and Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd..

Guardtime's three-year grant acceleration

Guardtime SA shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
