What this shows Tracer's Innovation Score is 62.6/100 (top 2% 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 Tracer?

Each dot is one of Tracer’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). Tracer’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tracer's grants concentrate

Tracer Imaging LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 59% of grants classified under A47G (Household OR Table Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Tracer sits between T-max (HANGZHOU) Technology, Co., Ltd. and The University of Tulsa.

Tracer's three-year grant acceleration

Tracer Imaging LLC shows 22 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.
