What this shows Wavesense's Innovation Score is 23.9/100 (13th 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 Wavesense?

Each dot is one of Wavesense’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). Wavesense’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 18.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wavesense's grants concentrate

WaveSense, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Wavesense sits between WaterGuru, Inc. and Weather Decision Technologies Inc..

Wavesense's three-year grant acceleration

WaveSense, Inc. shows 1 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.
