What this shows Sequans's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Sequans?

Each dot is one of Sequans’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). Sequans’s own 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sequans's grants concentrate

Sequans Communications SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sequans sits between Sargento Foods Inc. and Silvair Sp. z o.o..

Sequans's three-year grant acceleration

Sequans Communications SA shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
