What this shows Matrox's Innovation Score is 32.9/100 (43rd 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 Matrox?

Each dot is one of Matrox’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). Matrox’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Matrox's grants concentrate

Matrox Graphics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Matrox sits between Makani Technologies LLC and Metaio GmbH.

Matrox's three-year grant acceleration

Matrox Graphics Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
