What this shows Degroff's Innovation Score is 42.3/100 (top 31% 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 Degroff?

Each dot is one of Degroff’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). Degroff’s own 13.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Degroff's grants concentrate

DeGroff Aviation Technologies is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B64F (Ground OR Aircraft-carrier-deck Installations Specially Adapted FOR USE IN Connection With AIRCRAFT; Designing, Manufacturing, Assembling, Cleaning, Maintaining OR Repairing Aircraft, NOT Otherwise PR). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Degroff sits between Davis Instruments Corporation and Decho Corporation.

Degroff's three-year grant acceleration

DeGroff Aviation Technologies shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
