What this shows Curtiss-wright's Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 Curtiss-wright?

Each dot is one of Curtiss-wright’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). Curtiss-wright’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Curtiss-wright's grants concentrate

Curtiss-wright Flow Control Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Curtiss-wright sits between CTI vascular AG and CVR Global, Inc..

Curtiss-wright's three-year grant acceleration

Curtiss-wright Flow Control Corporation shows 2 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.
