What this shows Smart's Innovation Score is 38.8/100 (top 40% 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 20.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 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 Information Flow Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Smart sits between Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Service GmbH and Space Perspective Inc..

Smart's three-year grant acceleration

Smart Information Flow Technologies, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
