What this shows Silhouette's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 Silhouette?

Each dot is one of Silhouette’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). Silhouette’s own 1.5 claims/patent is at or below the 11.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Silhouette's grants concentrate

Silhouette International Schmied AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 10.3% of grants classified under G02C (SPECTACLES; Sunglasses OR Goggles Insofar AS They Have THE Same Features AS SPECTACLES; Contact Lenses). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Silhouette sits between Shanghai Harvest Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd and Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd..

Silhouette's three-year grant acceleration

Silhouette International Schmied AG shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
