What this shows Profound's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th 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 Profound?

Each dot is one of Profound’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). Profound’s own 17.2 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 Profound's grants concentrate

Profound Positioning Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G01C (Measuring Distances, Levels OR BEARINGS; SURVEYING; NAVIGATION; Gyroscopic INSTRUMENTS; Photogrammetry OR Videogrammetry). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Profound sits between Product Design Innovations, LLC and Promixx Ltd.

Profound's three-year grant acceleration

Profound Positioning Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
