What this shows Micatu's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 Micatu?

Each dot is one of Micatu’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). Micatu’s own 18.6 claims/patent is at or below the 19.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Micatu's grants concentrate

Micatu Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under G01R (Measuring Electric VARIABLES; Measuring Magnetic Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Micatu sits between Metallo Belgium and Microtransponder, Inc..

Micatu's three-year grant acceleration

Micatu Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
