What this shows Study's Innovation Score is 34.9/100 (49th percentile 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 Study?

Each dot is one of Study’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). Study’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Study's grants concentrate

Study Social, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 91.3% of grants classified under G09B (Educational OR Demonstration APPLIANCES; Appliances FOR Teaching, OR Communicating With, THE Blind, Deaf OR MUTE; MODELS; PLANETARIA; GLOBES; MAPS; Diagrams). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Study sits between Sony Advanced Visual Sensing AG and Synexis LLC.

Study's three-year grant acceleration

Study Social, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
