What this shows Pacific's Innovation Score is 31.2/100 (37th 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 Pacific?

Each dot is one of Pacific’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). Pacific’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Pacific's grants concentrate

Pacific Star Communications is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Pacific sits between P4 Infrastructure, Inc. and Pall Technology UK Limited.

Pacific's three-year grant acceleration

Pacific Star Communications shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
