What this shows Valoya's Innovation Score is 31.0/100 (36th 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 Valoya?

Each dot is one of Valoya’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). Valoya’s own 12.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Valoya's grants concentrate

Valoya OY is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Valoya sits between Utility Global, Inc. and Vixar, Inc..

Valoya's three-year grant acceleration

Valoya OY shows 2 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.
