What this shows AQ's Innovation Score is 39.0/100 (top 39% 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 AQ?

Each dot is one of AQ’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). AQ’s own 23.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where AQ's grants concentrate

AQ Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, AQ sits between Aces Electronics Co., Ltd. and Albany International Corp.

AQ's three-year grant acceleration

AQ Corporation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
