What this shows Innovation's Innovation Score is 72.4/100 (top 1% 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 Innovation?

Each dot is one of Innovation’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). Innovation’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Innovation's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Innovation, LLC received 75 grants versus 59 in 2015–2019 (+27% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 33 grants and bottomed in 2019 at 7. Lead class G01S accounts for 30.9% of the portfolio across 83 subclasses. Volume neighbours: AUO Corporation (#2,604) and Moxtek, Inc. (#2,612).

Innovation's three-year grant acceleration

Innovation, LLC shows 66 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
