What this shows Progress's Innovation Score is 46.3/100 (top 21% 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 Progress?

Each dot is one of Progress’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). Progress’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Progress's grants concentrate

Progress Software Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2015. By volume, Progress sits between Ningbo University and Rohinni, Inc..

Progress's three-year grant acceleration

Progress Software Corporation shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
