What this shows Rovi's Innovation Score is 42.6/100 (top 30% 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 Rovi?

Each dot is one of Rovi’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). Rovi’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rovi's grants concentrate

Rovi Technologies Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 76.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Rovi sits between PolyOne Corporation and SeeYa Optronics Co., Ltd..

Rovi's three-year grant acceleration

Rovi Technologies Corporation shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
