What this shows Theator's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Theator?

Each dot is one of Theator’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). Theator’s own 19.8 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 Theator's grants concentrate

Theator Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Theator sits between The Ohio State University Research Foundation and Trilliant Networks, Inc..

Theator's three-year grant acceleration

Theator Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
