What this shows Embry-riddle's Innovation Score is 49.1/100 (top 15% 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 Embry-riddle?

Each dot is one of Embry-riddle’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). Embry-riddle’s own 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Embry-riddle's grants concentrate

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 36 CPC subclasses with 23.8% of grants classified under B64D (Equipment FOR Fitting IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; Flight SUITS; PARACHUTES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Power Plants OR Propulsion Transmissions IN Aircraft). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Embry-riddle sits between Ecole Normale Superieure De Cachan and Energy Full Electronics Co., Ltd.

Embry-riddle's three-year grant acceleration

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
