What this shows Questek's Innovation Score is 38.3/100 (top 41% 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 Questek?

Each dot is one of Questek’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). Questek’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Questek's grants concentrate

Questek Innovations LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C22C (Alloys). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Questek sits between Q (Cue) Ltd. and Rich IP Technology Inc..

Questek's three-year grant acceleration

Questek Innovations LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
