What this shows Air's Innovation Score is 43.1/100 (top 29% 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 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 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 Water Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 56% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Air sits between Adamant Namiki Precision Jewel Co., Ltd. and AlphaSense Oy.

Air's three-year grant acceleration

Air Water Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
