What this shows Virginia's Innovation Score is 20.9/100 (8th 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 Virginia?

Each dot is one of Virginia’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). Virginia’s own 5.4 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Virginia's grants concentrate

Virginia Panel Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Virginia sits between Verizon Connect Ireland Limited and Voicify, LLC.

Virginia's three-year grant acceleration

Virginia Panel Corporation shows 3 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.
