What this shows Neuralink's Innovation Score is 58.1/100 (top 5% 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 Neuralink?

Each dot is one of Neuralink’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). Neuralink’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Neuralink's grants concentrate

Neuralink Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 68.2% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Neuralink sits between Naber Holding GmbH & Co. and Ningbo Albert Novosino Co., Ltd..

Neuralink's three-year grant acceleration

Neuralink Corp. shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
