What the tools can verify
Every company has a record, not every one has every dimension
PlainPatent indexes 49,997 assignee companies from USPTO PatentsView. The Innovation Score Explorer re-weights four dimensions, and coverage narrows the deeper the dimension, so a lookup returns more for some companies than others.
- Patent volume 100% 49,997
The count of granted patents behind the score, the base of the Innovation Score.
- Claim depth 100% 49,997
Average claims per patent, one of the four re-weightable dimensions.
- Technology breadth 96% 47,950
A real CPC technology-class classification. Not every assignee has one on file.
- Growth velocity 77% 38,570
Enough recent-vs-prior filing history to compute a growth rate. The thinnest layer, only companies with activity in both windows qualify.
