What this shows Applied's Innovation Score is 29.1/100 (29th 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 Applied?

Each dot is one of Applied’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). Applied’s own 14.3 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 Applied's grants concentrate

Applied FT Composite Solutions, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A41D (OUTERWEAR; Protective GARMENTS; Accessories). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Applied sits between App Annie Inc. and Applied Physics Technologies, Inc..

Applied's three-year grant acceleration

Applied FT Composite Solutions, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
