What this shows Association's Innovation Score is 45.5/100 (top 23% 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 Association?

Each dot is one of Association’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). Association’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Association's grants concentrate

Association Pour La Recherche Developpement Des Methodes Et Processus Industriels is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under G01C (Measuring Distances, Levels OR BEARINGS; SURVEYING; NAVIGATION; Gyroscopic INSTRUMENTS; Photogrammetry OR Videogrammetry). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Association sits between AppSense Limited and AvanStrate Inc..

Association's three-year grant acceleration

Association Pour La Recherche Developpement Des Methodes Et Processus Industriels shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
