What this shows Upstart's Innovation Score is 33.2/100 (44th 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 Upstart?

Each dot is one of Upstart’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). Upstart’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Upstart's grants concentrate

Upstart Power, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01M (Processes OR Means, e.g. Batteries, FOR THE Direct Conversion OF Chemical Energy Into Electrical Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Upstart sits between University OF Texas System and Umfotec GmbH.

Upstart's three-year grant acceleration

Upstart Power, Inc. shows 3 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.
