What this shows Softeye's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (45th 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 Softeye?

Each dot is one of Softeye’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). Softeye’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Softeye's grants concentrate

SoftEye, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). By volume, Softeye sits between Snap-on Equipment S.r.l. and Solan, LLC.

Softeye's three-year grant acceleration

SoftEye, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
