What this shows Star's Innovation Score is 42.1/100 (top 31% 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 Star?

Each dot is one of Star’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). Star’s own 28.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Star's grants concentrate

Star Mesh LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 95.8% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Star sits between Span Tech LLC and SUN Same Enterprises Co., Ltd..

Star's three-year grant acceleration

Star Mesh LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
