What this shows Pimems's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 Pimems?

Each dot is one of Pimems’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). Pimems’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Pimems's grants concentrate

PiMEMS, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under F28D (Heat-exchange Apparatus, NOT Provided FOR IN Another Subclass, IN Which THE Heat-exchange Media DO NOT Come Into Direct Contact). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Pimems sits between Photo electron Soul Inc. and Planar Semiconductor, Inc..

Pimems's three-year grant acceleration

PiMEMS, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
