What this shows Ripple's Innovation Score is 32.9/100 (43rd percentile 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 Ripple?

Each dot is one of Ripple’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). Ripple’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ripple's grants concentrate

Ripple Labs Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Ripple sits between Reyco Granning, LLC and Royal Metal Industrial Co., Ltd.

Ripple's three-year grant acceleration

Ripple Labs Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
