What this shows Autonomic's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 40% 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 Autonomic?

Each dot is one of Autonomic’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). Autonomic’s own 25.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Autonomic's grants concentrate

Autonomic Materials, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C09D (Coating Compositions, e.g. Paints, Varnishes OR LACQUERS; Filling PASTES; Chemical Paint OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; Correcting FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; Pastes OR Solids FOR Colouring OR PRINTING; USE OF Materi). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Autonomic sits between AutoGraph, Inc. and Axiado Corporation.

Autonomic's three-year grant acceleration

Autonomic Materials, Inc. shows 2 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.
