What this shows Applied's Innovation Score is 31.9/100 (39th 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 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 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 Technology Limited Partnership is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under C01B (Non-metallic ELEMENTS; Compounds THEREOF; ; Metalloids OR Compounds Thereof NOT Covered BY Subclass C01c). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Applied sits between Aortica Corporation and Aquatron Robotic Technology Ltd..

Applied's three-year grant acceleration

Applied Technology Limited Partnership shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
