What this shows Jive's Innovation Score is 50.3/100 (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 Jive?

Each dot is one of Jive’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). Jive’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Jive's grants concentrate

Jive Software, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Jive sits between JC Medical, Inc. and Kumho Tire Co., Inc..

Jive's three-year grant acceleration

Jive Software, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
