What this shows Kyndryl's Innovation Score is 77.9/100 (top 1% 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 Kyndryl?

Each dot is one of Kyndryl’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). Kyndryl’s own 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Kyndryl's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2022–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2022 at 204 grants and bottomed in 2024 at 102. Lead class G06F accounts for 64.8% of the portfolio across 91 subclasses. Volume neighbours: STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS (#850) and Waters Technologies Corporation (#858).

Kyndryl's three-year grant acceleration

Kyndryl, Inc. shows 478 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
