What this shows Aon's Innovation Score is 33.9/100 (46th percentile 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 Aon?

Each dot is one of Aon’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). Aon’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Aon's grants concentrate

Aon Benfield Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Aon sits between Annie International, Inc. and Applied Physical Sciences Corp..

Aon's three-year grant acceleration

Aon Benfield Inc. shows 4 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.
