What this shows Shenzhen's Innovation Score is 50.0/100 (top 14% 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 Shenzhen?

Each dot is one of Shenzhen’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). Shenzhen’s own 16.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shenzhen's grants concentrate

Shenzhen Sensetime Technology Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 59.1% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (24 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Shenzhen sits between Rondo Energy, Inc. and Socpra Sciences ET Genie S.E.C..

Shenzhen's three-year grant acceleration

Shenzhen Sensetime Technology Co., Ltd. shows 28 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
