What this shows State's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 State?

Each dot is one of State’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). State’s own 14.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where State's grants concentrate

State Grid Shandong Electric Power Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, State sits between Start Project, LLC and Steiner eOPTICS, Inc..

State's three-year grant acceleration

State Grid Shandong Electric Power Research Institute shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
