What this shows Zerofox's Innovation Score is 44.8/100 (top 25% 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 Zerofox?

Each dot is one of Zerofox’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). Zerofox’s own 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Zerofox's grants concentrate

ZeroFOX, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Zerofox sits between Würth International AG and A.L.M. Holding Company.

Zerofox's three-year grant acceleration

ZeroFOX, Inc. shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
