What this shows Sea's Innovation Score is 30.8/100 (36th 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 Sea?

Each dot is one of Sea’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). Sea’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sea's grants concentrate

Sea Tel, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01Q (Antennas, i.e. Radio Aerials). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Sea sits between Saniona A/S and Sensient Colors LLC.

Sea's three-year grant acceleration

Sea Tel, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
