What this shows Vonage's Innovation Score is 37.5/100 (top 43% 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 Vonage?

Each dot is one of Vonage’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). Vonage’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vonage's grants concentrate

Vonage America LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 65.1% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Vonage sits between University OF Houston and Yutou Technology (HANGZHOU) Co., Ltd..

Vonage's three-year grant acceleration

Vonage America LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
