What this shows Stubhub's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 22% 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 Stubhub?

Each dot is one of Stubhub’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). Stubhub’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Stubhub's grants concentrate

StubHub, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 95.9% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Stubhub sits between Sigray, Inc. and Tyco Electronics AMP Korea Co., Ltd..

Stubhub's three-year grant acceleration

StubHub, Inc. shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
