What this shows QSA's Innovation Score is 35.3/100 (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 QSA?

Each dot is one of QSA’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). QSA’s own 13.7 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 QSA's grants concentrate

QSA Global Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under G21G (Conversion OF Chemical ELEMENTS; Radioactive Sources). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, QSA sits between Providence Health & Services—Oregon and R.A. Phillips Industries, Inc..

QSA's three-year grant acceleration

QSA Global Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
