What this shows MGI's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 MGI?
Each dot is one of MGI’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). MGI’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where MGI's grants concentrate
MGI Digital Technology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, MGI sits between Mereo Biopharma 1 Limited and Microport Soaring CRM (SHANGHAI) Co., Ltd..
MGI's three-year grant acceleration
MGI Digital Technology shows 4 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.
