What this shows Applied's Innovation Score is 52.1/100 (top 11% 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 20.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Applied's grants concentrate

Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under C01B (Non-metallic ELEMENTS; Compounds THEREOF; ; Metalloids OR Compounds Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclass C01c). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Applied sits between Apollo Precision Kunming Yuanhong Limited and APR Co., Ltd..

Applied's three-year grant acceleration

Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
