What this shows Xi'an's Innovation Score is 32.0/100 (40th 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 Xi'an?

Each dot is one of Xi'an’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). Xi'an’s own 12.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Xi'an's grants concentrate

Xi'an ZTE NEW Software Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 76.9% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Xi'an sits between Wouldn't It Be Nice LLC and XR Reserve LLC.

Xi'an's three-year grant acceleration

Xi'an ZTE NEW Software Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
