What this shows ARC's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 ARC?

Each dot is one of ARC’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). ARC’s own 13.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ARC's grants concentrate

ARC France is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under C03C (Chemical Composition OF Glasses, Glazes OR Vitreous ENAMELS; Surface Treatment OF GLASS; Surface Treatment OF Fibres OR Filaments Made From Glass, Minerals OR SLAGS; Joining Glass TO Glass OR Other MA). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, ARC sits between Aqua Storage Retainers Limited and Arcusin, S. A..

ARC's three-year grant acceleration

ARC France shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
