What this shows Applied'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 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 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 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 Physics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under G01P (Measuring Linear OR Angular Speed, Acceleration, Deceleration, OR SHOCK; Indicating Presence, Absence, OR Direction, OF Movement). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Applied sits between Applied Cardiovascular Solutions, LLC and Appollo Wind Technologies LLC.

Applied's three-year grant acceleration

Applied Physics, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
