What this shows X-rite's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 X-rite?

Each dot is one of X-rite’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). X-rite’s own 17.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
