What this shows PQ's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (46th 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 PQ?

Each dot is one of PQ’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). PQ’s own 22.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where PQ's grants concentrate

PQ Solutions Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, PQ sits between Poltrona Frau S.P.A. and Prytime Medical Devices, Inc..

PQ's three-year grant acceleration

PQ Solutions Limited shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
