What this shows Silc's Innovation Score is 55.9/100 (top 7% 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 Silc?

Each dot is one of Silc’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). Silc’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Silc's grants concentrate

SiLC Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 96.6% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (21 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Silc sits between Shanghai IC R&D Center Co., Ltd. and Tela Innovations, Inc..

Silc's three-year grant acceleration

SiLC Technologies, Inc. shows 50 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.
