What this shows AVL's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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.

Where AVL's grants concentrate

AVL Powertrain Engineering, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 31.8% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, AVL sits between Arashi Vision Inc. and Ag Leader Technology.

AVL's three-year grant acceleration

AVL Powertrain Engineering, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
