What this shows GE's Innovation Score is 44.1/100 (top 26% 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 GE?

Each dot is one of GE’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). GE’s own 13.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where GE's grants concentrate

GE Energy Products France SNC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under F02C (Gas-turbine PLANTS; AIR Intakes FOR Jet-propulsion PLANTS; Controlling Fuel Supply IN Air-breathing Jet-propulsion Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, GE sits between Fuel Tech, Inc. and Gelest, Inc..

GE's three-year grant acceleration

GE Energy Products France SNC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
