What this shows Vivint's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (46th 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 Vivint?

Each dot is one of Vivint’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). Vivint’s own 15.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vivint's grants concentrate

Vivint Solar, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Vivint sits between Vision Global Holdings Ltd. and Voyant Photonics, Inc..

Vivint's three-year grant acceleration

Vivint Solar, Inc. shows 4 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.
