What this shows Aurora's Innovation Score is 25.6/100 (18th 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 Aurora?

Each dot is one of Aurora’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). Aurora’s own 6.8 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aurora's grants concentrate

Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 22.2% of grants classified under B04C (Apparatus Using Free Vortex Flow, e.g. Cyclones). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Aurora sits between Audemars Piguet (Marketing) SA and AutoGraph, Inc..

Aurora's three-year grant acceleration

Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
