What this shows GCE's Innovation Score is 38.7/100 (top 40% 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 GCE?

Each dot is one of GCE’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). GCE’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where GCE's grants concentrate

GCE Holding AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under Y10T (Technical Subjects Covered BY Former US Classification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, GCE sits between G.B.D. Corp. and Glenair, Inc..

GCE's three-year grant acceleration

GCE Holding AB shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
