What this shows Sky's Innovation Score is 38.1/100 (top 42% 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 Sky?

Each dot is one of Sky’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). Sky’s own 9.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sky's grants concentrate

Sky CP Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 40.7% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Sky sits between Siemens Canada Limited and Stahls' Inc..

Sky's three-year grant acceleration

Sky CP Limited shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
