What this shows KCG's Innovation Score is 30.1/100 (33rd 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 KCG?

Each dot is one of KCG’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). KCG’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where KCG's grants concentrate

KCG Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). By volume, KCG sits between KBC Groep NV and Keck Graduate Institute OF Applied Life Sciences.

KCG's three-year grant acceleration

KCG Technologies LLC shows 3 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.
