What this shows Modern's Innovation Score is 31.2/100 (37th 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 Modern?

Each dot is one of Modern’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). Modern’s own 27.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Modern's grants concentrate

Modern Electron, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Modern sits between Mitel Mobility Inc. and Mollusca Atelier LLC.

Modern's three-year grant acceleration

Modern Electron, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
