What this shows Prophesee's Innovation Score is 51.6/100 (top 11% 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 Prophesee?

Each dot is one of Prophesee’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). Prophesee’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Prophesee's grants concentrate

Prophesee is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Prophesee sits between Phoenix Electric Co., Ltd. and Pushd, Inc..

Prophesee's three-year grant acceleration

Prophesee shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
