What this shows Avant-garde's Innovation Score is 34.8/100 (49th 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 Avant-garde?

Each dot is one of Avant-garde’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). Avant-garde’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Avant-garde's grants concentrate

Avant-Garde IP LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Avant-garde sits between Atom Power, Inc. and B. Braun Medical SAS.

Avant-garde's three-year grant acceleration

Avant-Garde IP LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
