What this shows Optoma's Innovation Score is 56.9/100 (top 6% 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 Optoma?

Each dot is one of Optoma’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). Optoma’s own 20.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Optoma's grants concentrate

Optoma Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Optoma sits between Oldcastle Infrastructure, Inc. and Oulun yliopisto.

Optoma's three-year grant acceleration

Optoma Corporation shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
