What this shows Signiant's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th percentile 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 Signiant?

Each dot is one of Signiant’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). Signiant’s own 27.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Signiant's grants concentrate

Signiant Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Signiant sits between Siemens Healthineers Nederland B.V. and Sintetica S.A..

Signiant's three-year grant acceleration

Signiant Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
