What this shows Akron's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Akron?

Each dot is one of Akron’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). Akron’s own 23.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Akron's grants concentrate

Akron Polymer Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 58.8% of grants classified under C08G (Macromolecular Compounds Obtained Otherwise Than BY Reactions Only Involving Unsaturated Carbon-to-carbon Bonds). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Akron sits between Aerosol Dynamics Inc. and Alliant Techsystems Inc..

Akron's three-year grant acceleration

Akron Polymer Systems, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
