What this shows Sutro's Innovation Score is 23.0/100 (11th 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 Sutro?

Each dot is one of Sutro’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). Sutro’s own 11.2 claims/patent is at or below the 11.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sutro's grants concentrate

Sutro Connect, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Sutro sits between SurveyMonkey Inc. and Suzhou Red Maple Wind Blade Mould Co., Ltd..

Sutro's three-year grant acceleration

Sutro Connect, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
