What this shows Zendrive's Innovation Score is 42.5/100 (top 30% 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 Zendrive?

Each dot is one of Zendrive’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). Zendrive’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Zendrive's grants concentrate

Zendrive, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 52.9% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Zendrive sits between Yonsei University, UNIVERSITY—INDUSTRY Foundation (UIF) and Abbyy InfoPoisk LLC.

Zendrive's three-year grant acceleration

Zendrive, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
