What this shows Verizon's Innovation Score is 61.0/100 (top 3% 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 Verizon?

Each dot is one of Verizon’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). Verizon’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Verizon's grants concentrate

Verizon Connect Development Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 51.3% of grants classified under G06N (Computing Arrangements Based ON Specific Computational Models). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (14 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2021. By volume, Verizon sits between U.S. Patent Innovations, LLC and Weinberg Medical Physics, Inc.

Verizon's three-year grant acceleration

Verizon Connect Development Limited shows 30 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.
