What this shows Speedgauge's Innovation Score is 45.1/100 (top 24% 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 Speedgauge?

Each dot is one of Speedgauge’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). Speedgauge’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Speedgauge's grants concentrate

Speedgauge, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under B60W (Conjoint Control OF Vehicle Sub-units OF Different Type OR Different FUNCTION; Control Systems Specially Adapted FOR Hybrid VEHICLES; Road Vehicle Drive Control Systems FOR Purposes NOT Related TO THE). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Speedgauge sits between SMS Meer GMBH and Strattec Security Corporation.

Speedgauge's three-year grant acceleration

Speedgauge, Inc. shows 9 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.
