What this shows Switchboard's Innovation Score is 47.9/100 (top 18% 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 Switchboard?

Each dot is one of Switchboard’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). Switchboard’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Switchboard's grants concentrate

Switchboard Visual Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Switchboard sits between Suzhou Zelgen Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. and T&W Engineering A/S.

Switchboard's three-year grant acceleration

Switchboard Visual Technologies, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
