What this shows ALI's Innovation Score is 39.3/100 (top 38% 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 ALI?

Each dot is one of ALI’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). ALI’s own 13.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ALI's grants concentrate

ALI S.P.A.—CARPIGIANI Group is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 94.1% of grants classified under A23G (COCOA; Cocoa Products, e.g. CHOCOLATE; Substitutes FOR Cocoa OR Cocoa PRODUCTS; CONFECTIONERY; Chewing GUM; ICE-CREAM; Preparation Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, ALI sits between xAd, Inc. and Anhui University OF Science AND Technology.

ALI's three-year grant acceleration

ALI S.P.A.—CARPIGIANI Group shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
