What this shows Aleris's Innovation Score is 35.0/100 (top 50% 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 Aleris?

Each dot is one of Aleris’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). Aleris’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Aleris's grants concentrate

Aleris Aluminum Duffel Bvba is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C22F (Changing THE Physical Structure OF Non-ferrous Metals AND Non-ferrous Alloys). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Aleris sits between AJ Innuscreen GmbH and Alfred Inc..

Aleris's three-year grant acceleration

Aleris Aluminum Duffel Bvba 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.
