What this shows Shamir's Innovation Score is 40.0/100 (top 37% 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 Shamir?

Each dot is one of Shamir’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). Shamir’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shamir's grants concentrate

Shamir Optical Industry Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under G02C (SPECTACLES; Sunglasses OR Goggles Insofar AS They Have THE Same Features AS SPECTACLES; Contact Lenses). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Shamir sits between Schleifring UND Apparatebau GMBH and Signify North America Corporation.

Shamir's three-year grant acceleration

Shamir Optical Industry Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
