What this shows Samsung's Innovation Score is 29.8/100 (32nd 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 Samsung?

Each dot is one of Samsung’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). Samsung’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Samsung's grants concentrate

Samsung SDI Co., LD. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under H01M (Processes OR Means, e.g. Batteries, FOR THE Direct Conversion OF Chemical Energy Into Electrical Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Samsung sits between Saint-gobain Performance Plastics France and San-ei Kagaku Co., Ltd..

Samsung's three-year grant acceleration

Samsung SDI Co., LD. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
