What this shows Inplay'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 Inplay?

Each dot is one of Inplay’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). Inplay’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Inplay's grants concentrate

Inplay, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Inplay sits between Innoveering, LLC and Institut Univ. DE CIÈNCIA I Tecnologia, S. A..

Inplay's three-year grant acceleration

Inplay, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
