What this shows Addex's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (48th 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 Addex?

Each dot is one of Addex’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). Addex’s own 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Addex's grants concentrate

Addex, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Addex sits between Actian Corporation and Agnetix, Inc..

Addex's three-year grant acceleration

Addex, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
