What this shows Neato's Innovation Score is 31.7/100 (39th 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 Neato?

Each dot is one of Neato’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). Neato’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Neato's grants concentrate

Neato Robotics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Neato sits between National Institute OF Agrobiological Sciences and Newcastle Innovation Limited.

Neato's three-year grant acceleration

Neato Robotics, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
