What this shows 22's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 22?

Each dot is one of 22’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). 22’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 22's grants concentrate

22 Evolution LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 36.1% of grants classified under F41A (Functional Features OR Details Common TO Both Smallarms AND Ordnance, e.g. CANNONS; Mountings FOR Smallarms OR Ordnance). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 22 sits between Yuyao Yuchang Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd. and Aces Electronics Co., Ltd..

22's three-year grant acceleration

22 Evolution LLC shows 22 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.
