What this shows Smart's Innovation Score is 47.2/100 (top 19% 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 Smart?

Each dot is one of Smart’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). Smart’s own 15.3 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 Smart's grants concentrate

Smart Engines Service, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Smart sits between Sita Information Networking Computing UK Limited and Soode Nagano Co., Ltd..

Smart's three-year grant acceleration

Smart Engines Service, LLC shows 11 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.
