What this shows QED's Innovation Score is 30.3/100 (34th 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 QED?

Each dot is one of QED’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). QED’s own 10.7 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where QED's grants concentrate

QED Labs, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under C08K (Use of inorganic or non-macromolecular organic substances as compounding ingredients). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, QED sits between Q-yield Outdoor Gear Ltd. and Qiagen Redwood City, Inc..

QED's three-year grant acceleration

QED Labs, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
