What this shows Adaptive's Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 Adaptive?

Each dot is one of Adaptive’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). Adaptive’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 6.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Adaptive's grants concentrate

Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C09D (Coating Compositions, e.g. Paints, Varnishes OR LACQUERS; Filling PASTES; Chemical Paint OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; Correcting FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; Pastes OR Solids FOR Colouring OR PRINTING; USE OF Materi). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Adaptive sits between Active Products Inc. and Adolphe Merkle Institute, University OF Fribourg.

Adaptive's three-year grant acceleration

Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
