What this shows Aptar's Innovation Score is 42.6/100 (top 30% 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 Aptar?

Each dot is one of Aptar’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). Aptar’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Aptar's grants concentrate

Aptar Dortmund GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Aptar sits between Amsilk GmbH and Arjuna Natural Private Limited.

Aptar's three-year grant acceleration

Aptar Dortmund GMBH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
