What this shows Starry's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 Starry?

Each dot is one of Starry’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). Starry’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Starry's grants concentrate

Starry, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Starry sits between Spirax-Sarco Limited and Strategic Science & Technologies, LLC.

Starry's three-year grant acceleration

Starry, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
