What this shows Opticon's Innovation Score is 30.8/100 (35th 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 Opticon?

Each dot is one of Opticon’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). Opticon’s own 14.0 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Opticon's grants concentrate

Opticon Sensors Europe B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). By volume, Opticon sits between Oppie Lighting Co., Ltd. and Optimus Technologies, Inc..

Opticon's three-year grant acceleration

Opticon Sensors Europe B.V. shows 2 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.
