What this shows Affinity's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 Affinity?

Each dot is one of Affinity’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). Affinity’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Affinity's grants concentrate

Affinity Tool Works, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 40.9% of grants classified under B25H (Workshop Equipment, e.g. FOR Marking-out WORK; Storage Means FOR Workshops). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Affinity sits between Absolute Software Corporation and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell Co., Ltd..

Affinity's three-year grant acceleration

Affinity Tool Works, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
