What this shows Slice's Innovation Score is 44.1/100 (top 26% 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 Slice?

Each dot is one of Slice’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). Slice’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Slice's grants concentrate

Slice, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under B26B (Hand-held Cutting Tools NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2020. By volume, Slice sits between Schreiner Group GmbH & Co. KG and TM IP Holdings, LLC.

Slice's three-year grant acceleration

Slice, Inc. shows 27 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.
