What this shows Avdel's Innovation Score is 28.2/100 (26th 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 Avdel?

Each dot is one of Avdel’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). Avdel’s own 11.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Avdel's grants concentrate

Avdel UK Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under F16B (Devices FOR Fastening OR Securing Constructional Elements OR Machine Parts Together, e.g. Nails, Bolts, Circlips, Clamps, Clips OR WEDGES; Joints OR Jointing). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Avdel sits between Aurora Spine, Inc. and B&G Plastics, Inc..

Avdel's three-year grant acceleration

Avdel UK Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
