What this shows Socure's Innovation Score is 42.6/100 (top 30% 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 Socure?

Each dot is one of Socure’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). Socure’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Socure's grants concentrate

Socure, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Socure sits between Smart Wave Technologies, Inc. and Sportsfield Intellectual, LLC.

Socure's three-year grant acceleration

Socure, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
