What this shows Skyhook's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Skyhook?

Each dot is one of Skyhook’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). Skyhook’s own 21.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Skyhook's grants concentrate

Skyhook Wireless, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Skyhook sits between Shenzhen Lute Jiacheng Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. and Tempus Labs, Inc..

Skyhook's three-year grant acceleration

Skyhook Wireless, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
