What this shows Astes4's Innovation Score is 34.2/100 (47th percentile 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 Astes4?

Each dot is one of Astes4’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). Astes4’s own 13.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Astes4's grants concentrate

Astes4 SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B21D (Working OR Processing OF Sheet Metal OR Metal Tubes, Rods OR Profiles Without Essentially Removing MATERIAL; Punching Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Astes4 sits between Assa Abloy Fenestration, LLC and Asuro Co., Ltd..

Astes4's three-year grant acceleration

Astes4 SA shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
