What this shows Surys's Innovation Score is 34.6/100 (48th 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 Surys?

Each dot is one of Surys’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). Surys’s own 14.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Surys's grants concentrate

SURYS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under B42D (BOOKS; Book COVERS; Loose LEAVES; Printed Matter Characterised BY Identification OR Security FEATURES; Printed Matter OF Special Format OR Style NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Devices FOR USE Therewith A). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Surys sits between Steris Instrument Management Services, Inc. and SafeTraces, Inc..

Surys's three-year grant acceleration

SURYS shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
