What this shows BGT's Innovation Score is 32.9/100 (43rd 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 BGT?

Each dot is one of BGT’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). BGT’s own 12.1 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where BGT's grants concentrate

BGT Materials Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under H10H (Inorganic Light-emitting Semiconductor Devices Having Potential Barriers). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, BGT sits between Behr GMBH & Co. KG and Biopath Automation, LLC.

BGT's three-year grant acceleration

BGT Materials Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
