What this shows Vicor's Innovation Score is 63.0/100 (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 Vicor?

Each dot is one of Vicor’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). Vicor’s own 39.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vicor's grants concentrate

Vicor Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 74.5% of grants classified under H02M (Apparatus FOR Conversion Between AC AND AC, Between AC AND DC, OR Between DC AND DC, AND FOR USE With Mains OR Similar Power Supply SYSTEMS; Conversion OF DC OR AC Input Power Into Surge Output POWER;). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (13 grants) versus a trough of 10 in 2021. By volume, Vicor sits between Tyco Safety Products Canada Ltd. and YouCopia Products, Inc..

Vicor's three-year grant acceleration

Vicor Corporation shows 36 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
