What this shows Shape's Innovation Score is 52.8/100 (top 10% 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 Shape?

Each dot is one of Shape’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). Shape’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shape's grants concentrate

Shape Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 48% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Shape sits between ST. Jude Medical Coordination Center Bvba and SnapRays, LLC.

Shape's three-year grant acceleration

Shape Corp. shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
