What this shows Automation's Innovation Score is 51.8/100 (top 11% 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 Automation?

Each dot is one of Automation’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). Automation’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Automation's grants concentrate

Automation Tech, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under A21B (Bakers' OVENS; Machines OR Equipment FOR Baking). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Automation sits between Aupera Technologies, Inc. and Avid, Inc..

Automation's three-year grant acceleration

Automation Tech, LLC shows 4 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.
