What this shows AUO's Innovation Score is 69.5/100 (top 1% 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 AUO?

Each dot is one of AUO’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). AUO’s own 14.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where AUO's grants concentrate

AUO Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 45 CPC subclasses with 40.3% of grants classified under G09G (Arrangements OR Circuits FOR Control OF Indicating Devices Using Static Means TO Present Variable Information). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (43 grants) versus a trough of 18 in 2023. By volume, AUO sits between Vesture LLC and Innovation, LLC.

AUO's three-year grant acceleration

AUO Corporation shows 61 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
