What this shows Smarter's Innovation Score is 25.8/100 (18th percentile 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 Smarter?

Each dot is one of Smarter’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). Smarter’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 12.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Smarter's grants concentrate

Smarter Microelectronics (SHANGHAI) Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under H03F (Amplifiers). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Smarter sits between Slantrange, Inc. and Smbure Co., Ltd..

Smarter's three-year grant acceleration

Smarter Microelectronics (SHANGHAI) Co., Ltd. shows 1 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.
