What this shows Side's Innovation Score is 47.5/100 (top 18% 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 Side?

Each dot is one of Side’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). Side’s own 19.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Side's grants concentrate

Side, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Side sits between Shimano (SINGAPORE) PTE. Ltd. and Singulus Technologies AG.

Side's three-year grant acceleration

Side, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
