What this shows Zwipe's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (46th 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 Zwipe?

Each dot is one of Zwipe’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). Zwipe’s own 16.5 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Zwipe's grants concentrate

Zwipe AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Zwipe sits between Zerokey Inc. and Zeto, Inc..

Zwipe's three-year grant acceleration

Zwipe AS shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
