What this shows Additive's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 Additive?

Each dot is one of Additive’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). Additive’s own 14.6 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Additive's grants concentrate

Additive Industries B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B33Y (Additive Manufacturing, i.e. Manufacturing OF Three-dimensional [3-D] Objects BY Additive Deposition, Additive Agglomeration OR Additive Layering, e.g. BY 3-D Printing, Stereolithography OR Selective ). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Additive sits between AccelerComm Limited and Agility Robotics, Inc..

Additive's three-year grant acceleration

Additive Industries B.V. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
