What this shows Silicon's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (46th 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 Silicon?

Each dot is one of Silicon’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). Silicon’s own 20.1 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 Silicon's grants concentrate

Silicon Hill B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Silicon sits between Sicage LLC and SimpliVity Corporation.

Silicon's three-year grant acceleration

Silicon Hill B.V. shows 2 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.
