What this shows Astronautics's Innovation Score is 32.3/100 (41st 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 Astronautics?

Each dot is one of Astronautics’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). Astronautics’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Astronautics's grants concentrate

Astronautics Corporation of America is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Astronautics sits between Ascava, Inc. and Attiture LLC.

Astronautics's three-year grant acceleration

Astronautics Corporation of America shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
