What this shows Relay's Innovation Score is 48.8/100 (top 16% 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 Relay?

Each dot is one of Relay’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). Relay’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Relay's grants concentrate

Relay, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 64.7% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Relay sits between Roswell Canada Inc. and Rocket Innovations, Inc..

Relay's three-year grant acceleration

Relay, Inc. shows 7 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.
