What this shows Wayfair's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 Wayfair?

Each dot is one of Wayfair’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). Wayfair’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wayfair's grants concentrate

Wayfair LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Wayfair sits between VirnetX, Inc. and YPF TECNOLOGÍA S.A..

Wayfair's three-year grant acceleration

Wayfair LLC shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
