What this shows Virtek's Innovation Score is 29.5/100 (31st 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 Virtek?

Each dot is one of Virtek’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). Virtek’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Virtek's grants concentrate

Virtek Vision International ULC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Virtek sits between VICAT and Visunex Medical Systems Co. Ltd..

Virtek's three-year grant acceleration

Virtek Vision International ULC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
