What this shows Evolution's Innovation Score is 37.2/100 (top 44% 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 Evolution?

Each dot is one of Evolution’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). Evolution’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Evolution's grants concentrate

Evolution Malta Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under G07F (Coin-freed OR Like Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Evolution sits between Enduralock, LLC and Exciting Technology LLC.

Evolution's three-year grant acceleration

Evolution Malta Limited shows 7 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.
