What this shows Vizio's Innovation Score is 47.1/100 (top 19% 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 Vizio?

Each dot is one of Vizio’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). Vizio’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 14.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vizio's grants concentrate

Vizio, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 30.8% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (28 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Vizio sits between Sacmi Cooperativa Meccanici Imola Societa' Cooperativa and Andrew Wireless Systems GmbH.

Vizio's three-year grant acceleration

Vizio, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
