What this shows Gapwaves's Innovation Score is 39.6/100 (top 38% 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 Gapwaves?

Each dot is one of Gapwaves’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). Gapwaves’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gapwaves's grants concentrate

Gapwaves AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under H01Q (Antennas, i.e. Radio Aerials). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Gapwaves sits between Furniture of America, Inc. and Glaxosmithkline Consumer Healthcare (UK) IP Limited.

Gapwaves's three-year grant acceleration

Gapwaves AB shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
