What this shows Photopotech's Innovation Score is 31.9/100 (39th 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 Photopotech?

Each dot is one of Photopotech’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). Photopotech’s own 16.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Photopotech's grants concentrate

Photopotech LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Photopotech sits between Phoenix Tailings, Inc. and Pieris AG.

Photopotech's three-year grant acceleration

Photopotech LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
