What this shows Applied's Innovation Score is 51.6/100 (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 23.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.8 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 Invention, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 37% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Applied sits between ACE Technologies Corporation and Anton Paar GmbH.

Applied's three-year grant acceleration

Applied Invention, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
