What this shows Airspan's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% 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 Airspan?

Each dot is one of Airspan’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). Airspan’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Airspan's grants concentrate

Airspan Networks Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 92% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Airspan sits between 360 Electrical, L.L.C. and Alza Corporation.

Airspan's three-year grant acceleration

Airspan Networks Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
