What this shows Sprintray's Innovation Score is 48.7/100 (top 16% 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 Sprintray?

Each dot is one of Sprintray’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). Sprintray’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sprintray's grants concentrate

SprintRay, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 65.6% of grants classified under B33Y (Additive Manufacturing, i.e. Manufacturing OF Three-dimensional [3-D] Objects BY Additive Deposition, Additive Agglomeration OR Additive Layering, e.g. BY 3-D Printing, Stereolithography OR Selective ). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Sprintray sits between Smiths Detection Inc. and Tagivan II LLC.

Sprintray's three-year grant acceleration

SprintRay, Inc. shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
