What this shows Spark's Innovation Score is 50.4/100 (top 13% 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 Spark?

Each dot is one of Spark’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). Spark’s own 21.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Spark's grants concentrate

Spark Connected LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H02J (Circuit Arrangements OR Systems FOR Supplying OR Distributing Electric POWER; Systems FOR Storing Electric Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Spark sits between Snaps Ventures Inc. and Stericycle, Inc..

Spark's three-year grant acceleration

Spark Connected LLC shows 11 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.
