What this shows Sproutel's Innovation Score is 33.6/100 (45th 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 Sproutel?

Each dot is one of Sproutel’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). Sproutel’s own 14.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sproutel's grants concentrate

Sproutel Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under A63H (Toys, e.g. Tops, Dolls, Hoops OR Building Blocks). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Sproutel sits between Spindle 360, Inc. and Standard Fiber, LLC.

Sproutel's three-year grant acceleration

Sproutel Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
