What this shows Skillz's Innovation Score is 51.8/100 (top 11% 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 Skillz?

Each dot is one of Skillz’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). Skillz’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Skillz's grants concentrate

Skillz Platform, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under A63F (Card, Board, OR Roulette GAMES; Indoor Games Using Small Moving Playing BODIES; Video GAMES; Games NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Skillz sits between Shenzhen Qipurui Technology Co., Ltd. and Sourcewater Holdings, LLC.

Skillz's three-year grant acceleration

Skillz Platform, Inc. shows 14 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.
