What this shows SLD's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% 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 SLD?

Each dot is one of SLD’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). SLD’s own 18.2 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 SLD's grants concentrate

SLD Technology, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, SLD sits between SK microworks solutions Co., Ltd. and Smart Prong Technologies, Inc..

SLD's three-year grant acceleration

SLD Technology, Inc. shows 3 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.
