What this shows Pulse's Innovation Score is 35.1/100 (top 50% 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 Pulse?

Each dot is one of Pulse’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). Pulse’s own 17.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Pulse's grants concentrate

Pulse Electronics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 45.8% of grants classified under H01F (MAGNETS; INDUCTANCES; TRANSFORMERS; Selection OF Materials FOR Their Magnetic Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Pulse sits between Power Support Company Limited and Pegasystems Inc..

Pulse's three-year grant acceleration

Pulse Electronics, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
