What this shows Aetrex's Innovation Score is 32.3/100 (41st 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 Aetrex?

Each dot is one of Aetrex’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). Aetrex’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aetrex's grants concentrate

Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 26.1% 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 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Aetrex sits between ADDUP and Albemarle Germany GMBH.

Aetrex's three-year grant acceleration

Aetrex Worldwide, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
