What this shows Select's Innovation Score is 34.2/100 (47th 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 Select?

Each dot is one of Select’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). Select’s own 14.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Select's grants concentrate

Select Comfort Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 68.4% of grants classified under A47C (CHAIRS; SOFAS; Beds). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Select sits between Scale Computing and Shenzhen Dongjilian Medical Tech Co., Ltd.

Select's three-year grant acceleration

Select Comfort Corporation 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.
