What this shows Optum's Innovation Score is 56.8/100 (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 Optum?

Each dot is one of Optum’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). Optum’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Optum's grants concentrate

Optum Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Optum sits between Ovid Therapeutics Inc. and Rhizen Pharmaceuticals AG.

Optum's three-year grant acceleration

Optum Technology, Inc. shows 37 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
