What this shows Gatesair's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 Gatesair?

Each dot is one of Gatesair’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). Gatesair’s own 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gatesair's grants concentrate

GatesAir, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 46.2% of grants classified under H04H (Broadcast Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Gatesair sits between Guangzhou Cellprotek Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd and General Photonics Corporation.

Gatesair's three-year grant acceleration

GatesAir, Inc. shows 3 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.
