What this shows PCT's Innovation Score is 36.2/100 (top 47% 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 PCT?

Each dot is one of PCT’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). PCT’s own 20.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where PCT's grants concentrate

PCT International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, PCT sits between ORTHOsoft, Inc. and Prolific Technology Inc..

PCT's three-year grant acceleration

PCT International, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
