What this shows Reel's Innovation Score is 52.1/100 (top 11% 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 Reel?

Each dot is one of Reel’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). Reel’s own 17.9 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Reel's grants concentrate

Reel, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Reel sits between Realeyes OÜ and Renew Medical Inc..

Reel's three-year grant acceleration

Reel, Inc. shows 5 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.
