What this shows VC's Innovation Score is 48.5/100 (top 16% 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 VC?

Each dot is one of VC’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). VC’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where VC's grants concentrate

VC Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2022. By volume, VC sits between Uromedica, Inc. and Veritas US IP Holdings LLC.

VC's three-year grant acceleration

VC Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
