What this shows Worldcoin's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Worldcoin?

Each dot is one of Worldcoin’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). Worldcoin’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Worldcoin's grants concentrate

Worldcoin Foundation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). By volume, Worldcoin sits between Wohner GmbH & Co. KG Elektrotechnische Systeme and Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Science.

Worldcoin's three-year grant acceleration

Worldcoin Foundation shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
