What this shows SRI's Innovation Score is 64.2/100 (top 2% 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 SRI?

Each dot is one of SRI’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). SRI’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How SRI's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, SRI International received 189 grants versus 211 in 2015–2019 (-10% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2015 at 54 grants and bottomed in 2024 at 26. Lead class G06F accounts for 38.9% of the portfolio across 133 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd. (#1,028) and GN Hearing A/S (#1,036).

SRI's three-year grant acceleration

From 2019–2021 to 2022–2024, SRI International moved from 112 to 108 grants (0.96x the prior three-year total, a multiple, not a CAGR). Among 3,296 tracked assignees with ≥100 grants and ≥20 prior-period grants, that multiple ranks #1,281. See the growth leaderboard.
