What this shows Phoseon's Innovation Score is 54.4/100 (top 8% 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 Phoseon?

Each dot is one of Phoseon’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). Phoseon’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Phoseon's grants concentrate

Phoseon Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 38.5% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (20 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Phoseon sits between NEC Energy Devices, Ltd. and Signal Pharmaceuticals, LLC.

Phoseon's three-year grant acceleration

Phoseon Technology, Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
