What this shows Aker's Innovation Score is 49.1/100 (top 15% 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 Aker?

Each dot is one of Aker’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). Aker’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aker's grants concentrate

Aker Solutions AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 66% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, Aker sits between Wapp Tech Corp. and Asco Power Technologies, L.P..

Aker's three-year grant acceleration

Aker Solutions AS shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
