What this shows Aquestia's Innovation Score is 38.4/100 (top 41% 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 Aquestia?

Each dot is one of Aquestia’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). Aquestia’s own 10.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aquestia's grants concentrate

Aquestia Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Aquestia sits between Aqua Star, Inc. and Archer Manufacturing, Inc..

Aquestia's three-year grant acceleration

Aquestia Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
