What this shows Academy's Innovation Score is 27.2/100 (23rd 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 Academy?

Each dot is one of Academy’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). Academy’s own 6.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Academy's grants concentrate

Academy, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 10% of grants classified under A41D (OUTERWEAR; Protective GARMENTS; Accessories). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Academy sits between Avixgen Inc. and Accutronics, Ltd..

Academy's three-year grant acceleration

Academy, Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
