What this shows Quest's Innovation Score is 45.7/100 (top 22% 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 Quest?

Each dot is one of Quest’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). Quest’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 19.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Quest's grants concentrate

Quest Photonic Devices B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Quest sits between Quanta Technology, LLC and Quick Heal Technologies Limited.

Quest's three-year grant acceleration

Quest Photonic Devices B.V. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
