What this shows Thredup's Innovation Score is 29.3/100 (30th 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 Thredup?

Each dot is one of Thredup’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). Thredup’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Thredup's grants concentrate

ThredUp Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Thredup sits between Thermodynamic Design, LLC and Tienovix, LLC.

Thredup's three-year grant acceleration

ThredUp Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
