What this shows Soter's Innovation Score is 40.0/100 (top 37% 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 Soter?

Each dot is one of Soter’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). Soter’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Soter's grants concentrate

Soter Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under G08B (Signalling OR Calling SYSTEMS; Order TELEGRAPHS; Alarm Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Soter sits between Smart Electronics Inc and Starlogik IP LLC.

Soter's three-year grant acceleration

Soter Technologies, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
