What this shows Spectre's Innovation Score is 30.1/100 (33rd 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 Spectre?

Each dot is one of Spectre’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). Spectre’s own 21.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Spectre's grants concentrate

Spectre Materials Sciences, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C06B (Explosives OR Thermic Compositions ; Manufacture THEREOF; USE OF Single Substances AS Explosives). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Spectre sits between Sparkling Bins, LLC and Spire Global Subsidiary, Inc..

Spectre's three-year grant acceleration

Spectre Materials Sciences, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
