What this shows Aerofoil'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 Aerofoil?

Each dot is one of Aerofoil’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). Aerofoil’s own 15.7 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 Aerofoil's grants concentrate

Aerofoil Energy Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under A47F (Special Furniture, Fittings, OR Accessories FOR Shops, Storehouses, Bars, Restaurants OR THE LIKE; Paying Counters). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Aerofoil sits between Acton, Inc. and Aimcast IP, LLC.

Aerofoil's three-year grant acceleration

Aerofoil Energy Limited shows 11 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.
