What this shows BAE's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% 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 BAE?

Each dot is one of BAE’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). BAE’s own 12.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where BAE's grants concentrate

BAE Systems Australia Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under H01P (WAVEGUIDES; Resonators, Lines, OR Other Devices OF THE Waveguide Type). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, BAE sits between Axovant Sciences GmbH and Base Air Management Limited.

BAE's three-year grant acceleration

BAE Systems Australia Limited shows 3 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.
