What this shows Blended's Innovation Score is 51.7/100 (top 11% 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 Blended?

Each dot is one of Blended’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). Blended’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Blended's grants concentrate

Blended Wing Aircraft, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B64C (AEROPLANES; Helicopters). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Blended sits between Biglobe Inc. and Boost Auto Parts LLC.

Blended's three-year grant acceleration

Blended Wing Aircraft, Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
