What this shows Heptagon's Innovation Score is 50.5/100 (top 13% 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 Heptagon?

Each dot is one of Heptagon’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). Heptagon’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Heptagon's grants concentrate

Heptagon Micro Optics Pte. Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 44 CPC subclasses with 53.2% of grants classified under H10F (Inorganic Semiconductor Devices Sensitive TO Infrared Radiation, Light, Electromagnetic Radiation OF Shorter Wavelength OR Corpuscular Radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (26 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Heptagon sits between Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Imperial College Innovations Ltd.

Heptagon's three-year grant acceleration

Heptagon Micro Optics Pte. Ltd. shows 2 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.
