What this shows Advanced's Innovation Score is 26.1/100 (19th 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 Advanced?

Each dot is one of Advanced’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). Advanced’s own 11.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Advanced's grants concentrate

Advanced Refining Technologies LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B01J (Chemical OR Physical Processes, e.g. Catalysis OR Colloid CHEMISTRY; Their Relevant Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Advanced sits between Actimize Ltd. and Air China Limited.

Advanced's three-year grant acceleration

Advanced Refining Technologies LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
