What this shows Anglo's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 Anglo?

Each dot is one of Anglo’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). Anglo’s own 22.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 5.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Anglo's grants concentrate

Anglo American Services (UK) Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B02C (Crushing, Pulverising, OR Disintegrating IN GENERAL; Milling Grain). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Anglo sits between Ananda Devices, Inc. and Anika Therapeutics, Inc..

Anglo's three-year grant acceleration

Anglo American Services (UK) Ltd shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
