What this shows Aputure's Innovation Score is 57.6/100 (top 5% 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 Aputure?

Each dot is one of Aputure’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). Aputure’s own 15.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Aputure's grants concentrate

Aputure Imaging Industries Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 63.3% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Aputure sits between Airbus DS SAS and Asus Technology Licensing Inc..

Aputure's three-year grant acceleration

Aputure Imaging Industries Co., Ltd. shows 26 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
