What this shows Matternet's Innovation Score is 28.0/100 (26th 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 Matternet?

Each dot is one of Matternet’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). Matternet’s own 2.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Matternet's grants concentrate

Matternet, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Matternet sits between Matchstick LLC and Maxor National Pharmacy Services, LLC.

Matternet's three-year grant acceleration

Matternet, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
