What this shows Flyability's Innovation Score is 52.2/100 (top 10% 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 Flyability?

Each dot is one of Flyability’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). Flyability’s own 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Flyability's grants concentrate

Flyability SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B64U (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [UAV]; Equipment Therefor). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Flyability sits between Flecotec AG and Foci Fiber Optic Communications, Inc..

Flyability's three-year grant acceleration

Flyability SA shows 3 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.
