What this shows Apollo's Innovation Score is 43.1/100 (top 29% 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 Apollo?

Each dot is one of Apollo’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). Apollo’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 19.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Apollo's grants concentrate

Apollo Tyres Global R&D B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 28.2% of grants classified under B60C (Vehicle TYRES; Tyre INFLATION; Tyre CHANGING; Connecting Valves TO Inflatable Elastic Bodies IN GENERAL; Devices OR Arrangements Related TO Tyres). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Apollo sits between Air Liquide Advanced Technologies U.S. LLC and BackBeat Medical, LLC.

Apollo's three-year grant acceleration

Apollo Tyres Global R&D B.V. shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
