What this shows Arrow's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Arrow?

Each dot is one of Arrow’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). Arrow’s own 18.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Arrow's grants concentrate

Arrow International LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Arrow sits between Alphamicron Incorporated and Acxiom LLC.

Arrow's three-year grant acceleration

Arrow International LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
