What this shows Air's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 Air?

Each dot is one of Air’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). Air’s own 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Air's grants concentrate

Air Liquide Large Industries U.S. LP is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 65.2% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Air sits between Adeia Semiconductor Solutions LLC and Algenol Biotech LLC.

Air's three-year grant acceleration

Air Liquide Large Industries U.S. LP shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
