What this shows SOS's Innovation Score is 34.0/100 (46th 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 SOS?

Each dot is one of SOS’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). SOS’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SOS's grants concentrate

SOS Solutions, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under F41B (Weapons FOR Projecting Missiles Without USE OF Explosive OR Combustible Propellant CHARGE; Weapons NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, SOS sits between Smartshift Technologies, Inc. and Spirit LLC.

SOS's three-year grant acceleration

SOS Solutions, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
