What this shows Mixed-signal's Innovation Score is 50.8/100 (top 12% 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 Mixed-signal?

Each dot is one of Mixed-signal’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). Mixed-signal’s own 15.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mixed-signal's grants concentrate

Mixed-Signal Devices Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 38.5% of grants classified under H03M (CODING; DECODING; Code Conversion IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Mixed-signal sits between Mirror Biologics, Inc. and Monster Worldwide, Inc..

Mixed-signal's three-year grant acceleration

Mixed-Signal Devices Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
