What this shows Prodrone's Innovation Score is 32.7/100 (42nd 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 Prodrone?

Each dot is one of Prodrone’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). Prodrone’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Prodrone's grants concentrate

Prodrone Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B64U (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [UAV]; Equipment Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Prodrone sits between Preco, LLC and Paragon Space Development Corporation.

Prodrone's three-year grant acceleration

Prodrone Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
