What this shows Auto's Innovation Score is 30.8/100 (35th 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 Auto?

Each dot is one of Auto’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). Auto’s own 12.9 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 Auto's grants concentrate

Auto IP LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Auto sits between Aurora Algae, Inc. and Automotive Lighting Italia S.p.A. a Socio Unico.

Auto's three-year grant acceleration

Auto IP LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
