What this shows Kerlink's Innovation Score is 30.0/100 (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 Kerlink?

Each dot is one of Kerlink’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). Kerlink’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kerlink's grants concentrate

Kerlink is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Kerlink sits between Kastanienbaum GMBH and Kidde Fire Protection, LLC.

Kerlink's three-year grant acceleration

Kerlink shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
