What this shows Smartsheet's Innovation Score is 27.2/100 (23rd 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 Smartsheet?

Each dot is one of Smartsheet’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). Smartsheet’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Smartsheet's grants concentrate

Smartsheet Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Smartsheet sits between Smart Billiard Lighting LLC and Socket Solutions, LLC.

Smartsheet's three-year grant acceleration

Smartsheet Inc. 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.
