What this shows Project's Innovation Score is 58.0/100 (top 5% 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 Project?
Each dot is one of Project’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). Project’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Project's grants concentrate
Project Canary, PBC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 74.3% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (16 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Project sits between Pluto Inc. and Reciprocal Labs Corporation.
Project's three-year grant acceleration
Project Canary, PBC shows 31 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.
