What this shows AE's Innovation Score is 24.5/100 (15th 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.

Where AE's grants concentrate

AE Technologies Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F21S (Non-portable Lighting DEVICES; Systems THEREOF; Vehicle Lighting Devices Specially Adapted FOR Vehicle Exteriors). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, AE sits between Advanced Research FOR Manufacturing Systems, LLC and Aegis Global Resources (HK) Limited.

AE's three-year grant acceleration

AE Technologies Co., Ltd. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
