What this shows Postprocess's Innovation Score is 53.3/100 (top 9% 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 Postprocess?

Each dot is one of Postprocess’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). Postprocess’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Postprocess's grants concentrate

PostProcess Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B33Y (Additive Manufacturing, i.e. Manufacturing OF Three-dimensional [3-D] Objects BY Additive Deposition, Additive Agglomeration OR Additive Layering, e.g. BY 3-D Printing, Stereolithography OR Selective ). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Postprocess sits between Polaris Sensor Technologies, Inc. and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

Postprocess's three-year grant acceleration

PostProcess Technologies, Inc. shows 12 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.
