What this shows Jostens's Innovation Score is 31.9/100 (39th 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 Jostens?

Each dot is one of Jostens’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). Jostens’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Jostens's grants concentrate

Jostens, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Jostens sits between Jonker LLC and King's Flair Development Ltd..

Jostens's three-year grant acceleration

Jostens, Inc. shows 1 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.
