What this shows Microsemi's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 31% 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 Microsemi?

Each dot is one of Microsemi’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). Microsemi’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Microsemi's grants concentrate

Microsemi Semiconductor ULC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 54.2% of grants classified under H03L (Automatic Control, Starting, Synchronisation OR Stabilisation OF Generators OF Electronic Oscillations OR Pulses). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (13 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Microsemi sits between Luminara Worldwide, LLC and Nippon Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd..

Microsemi's three-year grant acceleration

Microsemi Semiconductor ULC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
