What this shows Okta's Innovation Score is 38.6/100 (top 40% 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 Okta?

Each dot is one of Okta’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). Okta’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Okta's grants concentrate

Okta, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Okta sits between Nilfisk A/S and OptiScan Biomedical Corporation.

Okta's three-year grant acceleration

Okta, Inc. shows 10 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.
