What this shows Princeton's Innovation Score is 41.0/100 (top 34% 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 Princeton?

Each dot is one of Princeton’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). Princeton’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 Princeton's grants concentrate

Princeton Identity is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 96% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Princeton sits between PlaceIQ, Inc. and Q3 Medical Devices Limited.

Princeton's three-year grant acceleration

Princeton Identity shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
